Valentine’s Day is around the corner. How do you feel about it? Love it, hate it or just ignore it?
If you are in a relationship, do you celebrate it?
If you are not in a relationship, do you just try to ignore it or do you have fun and celebrate it with your friends? After all, it is the celebration of love and we love our family, friends, and children too. That love deserves to be celebrated too.
We usually have a low key little celebration at home with my partner. We might have a nice dinner and later a box of chocolate and champagne together (not healthy I know but we don’t do this every evening). The nice dinner this year is probably not going to happen, as Valentine’s day is on a weekday, and I need to take the kids to after-school classes all afternoon till 7 in the evening. But we’ll see. We can certainly make up for it at the weekend.
A special breakfast might be a good option too.
I’ll show you a few high protein vegan breakfast ideas for Valentine’s Day that can be eaten even in bed if you don’t mind the crumbs. They are all very tasty.
Vegan protein waffles with berries and chocolate sauce
I don’t have a waffle maker so I used a sandwich toaster for this recipe and it worked perfectly.
Vegan protein waffle for Valentine's day breakfast
- 1 cup oats
- 2 scoops vegan protein powder
- 2 tsp ground flaxseeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups water or plant milk
-
Switch on the waffle maker. Spray with a little bit of coconut oil if it’s necessary.
-
Put the oats, protein powder, flax seed, baking powder, and baking soda into a food processor and pulse it a few times.
-
Add the water or milk and mix it until smooth.
-
Cook the waffles in the waffle maker, about 8-10 minutes per waffles.
You can serve them with berries (frozen is fine too), peanut butter, maple syrup or chocolate sauce. For the chocolate sauce mix cacao powder, maple syrup/stevia and water/coconut oil.
Enjoy!
Vegan French toast with berries and maple syrup
You don’t need to use eggs to make a nice french toast. In this recipe, I substituted it with silken tofu and used good quality seeded wholemeal bread. You can also use Ezekiel bread or protein bread.
