Hey guys, I am sitting here craving a late night snack and I decided to share with you my perfect solution! It is protein waffles with frozen blueberries! The recipe is quick, easy and healthy to eat before bed. Not to mention it is gluten free, grain free, dairy free, and no sugar added! The trick here (if you want it to work the best) is to use a type of protein called casein protein. Casein is not as affective for you post workout as at night, and should really only be used before a prolonged time in fasting (long time without eating). It is a very slow acting protein and will supply your body over a longer period of time with good fuels. This keeps your body out of ketosis during the night (your body thinks it is dying and slows down the metabolism to save fuel to survive, this is an old evolutionary trait) by having a constant supply of energy! Another key thing to have with it is a good syrup. I use a no sugar added E.D. Smith syrup that is in the picture below(not the best possible choice but close enough and all they had) but feel free to try different ones! Here it is the recipe:
2 large eggs
1 large spotted banana
1/4 cup protein powder of your choice (recommend casein unflavoured powder but I used vanilla)
1/4 tsp vanilla
upgrade: try adding cinnamon or no sugar added frozen yogurt on top
I mixed everything together using a handheld mixer and pour that in a waffle maker (pretty cheap units at walmart for around $30-50) and then I put frozen blueberries on top as well (not too many guys keep those insulin levels down). All that was left was to add the syrup and I was all set!
Eating healthy isn't always eating bad tasting foods! Enjoy a great treat for positive gains!
Cheers!
