Cherry Vanilla Protein Waffles

I haven’t owned a waffle maker in YEARS, but was surprised to find the perfect mini waffle maker at Target for $10. Let’s be honest, you can never go wrong with a gadget that creates a fun breakfast, is an easy clean-up and is small enough to be quietly hidden among the other heftier appliances in the kitchen (if you’re not a fan of kitchen clutter, you understand).

I’ve also been on a cherry kick! My favorite fruits are those in the berry family, but I feel it’s always good to branch out when I find myself eating the same routine foods. New foods = new nutrients to take in. So far I’ve been incorporating cherries in my smoothies, on the side as a snack, and now, waffles! 🙂
