- Freezer Instructions: Allow waffles to cool completely. Place in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Add a layer of parchment between each waffle for extra protection. I recommend reheating directly from frozen.Place in a toaster or toasted oven and cook for 5-6 minutes for a crisp outside and soft inside.
- protein amount is based on a vanilla whey protein powder that has 20g of protein per scoop, protein amounts will vary depending on which protein powder is used.
- store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
