If you love sweet potato pie, you’ll definitely want to start your day with these Belgian-style waffles. Not only do they taste like dessert, but they’re made with whole wheat flour for more robust flavor as well as more vitamins.

If you haven’t tried the awesome combo of chicken and waffles yet, this version will no doubt sway you. It’s even in a sandwich for easy eating and ultimate yum factor.

Authentic Liège Waffles

healthy-liege-waffles Picture courtesy of Not Martha

To make an over-the-top breakfast, make waffles in the style of Liège, Belgium. What these lack in overall healthfulness, they make up for in authentic flavor.

What you’ll need to get a hold of first, though, is a secret ingredient: Belgian pearl sugar. Next, you’ll need patience because the yeast dough has to rise for several hour, ideally overnight, before folding in that pearl sugar and firing up the waffle iron.

Serves 12

Ingredients

3 tsp. active dry yeast

1/2 cup whole milk

5 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. water

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. light brown sugar

Brownie Waffles

There are healthy ways to have dessert for breakfast, including these chocolatey waffles.

Whole Spelt Waffles

healthy-spelt-waffles Picture courtesy of The Pretty Bee

One easy trick to make waffles more nutritious is to swap out white flour for an alternative, such as spelt.

Compared to wheat flour, spelt has more fiber, protein, and minerals like niacin. It’s also easier to use as a substitute than quinoa or rice flour because it contains gluten.

These waffles aren’t gluten-free, but they are vegan.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 cup whole spelt flour

1 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder

1/8 tsp. salt

1/4 – 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
