Vegan protein waffle for Valentine's day breakfast

High protein vegan breakfast ideas for Valentine’s Day

Recipes

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.

Let me introduce you to these extremely simple vegan protein rich mini pancakes. They are my favorite Sunday breakfast when I want to eat something other than fruit, smoothie or oatmeal. These protein pancakes can easily keep me satiated till lunchtime. The fun part is pouring all kinds of yummy things on top of them. My two favorites are peanut butter plus berry sauce (frozen berries warmed up a bit) or plant based yogurt plus fruit. Mango or strawberries are sooo good. I’m sure you have your favorite combos too.

I increased the protein content by adding vegan protein powder and flaxseeds to the batter. Flaxseeds are very healthy, we should eat 1 tablespoon every day, according to Dr. Michael Greger, famous American physician. He introduced the so called “daily dozen” foods, from which we should eat every day, if we want to be healthy. I will write about the daily dozen in a future post, so stay tuned 🙂

So why are these small seeds so healthy? They are one of the best sources of essential omega 3 fatty acids, they contain cancer preventing lignans, control the cholesterol, triglyceride and blood sugar level, anti-inflammatory and prevent constipation too.

The recipe for the pancakes is extremely simple: just blend the ingredients with a blender or hand held mixer and cook about one tablespoon amounts in a little coconut oil. Now comes the fun part, decorating them 🙂
