A Waffle Recipe Stuffed With Superfoods
Oh, sure, you can go out for breakfast and order a ridiculous stack of flapjacks filled with chocolate chips and topped with whipped cream and powdered sugar (true story!), but Monica Amsterdam, CHC, AADP, FDN-P, director of nutrition at the Medical and Wellness Center of NJ, has a better idea for your morning meal that’s quicker, easier and healthier than that.
She loves breakfast and has created a waffle recipe stuffed with superfoods that will keep you energized and ready to take on the day. And if you whirl in some spinach or kale, it’ll turn the waffles a light green color that will intrigue the kiddies.
