Waffles and...Peanut Butter?

[savageseraph]

I’ve been visiting the dietician at work as a part of my “Get Healthier in 2012” agenda. Note: Like the posting each day, not a resolution. One of the things we’ve been haggling over is breakfast. She wants me to eat cereal. I tell her that I can consume several servings of cereal at a pop and be hungry again like an hour later. We go through several other suggestions that are equally unappealing until she suggests multi-grain low-fat waffles with peanut butter for a good mix of fiber and protein.

I am suspicious. This sounds totally cracktastic and very possibly, bad tasting. However, yesterday I decided to get a box and have a trail run, and I have to confess, the combination isn’t half bad.

Who knew?

I eat waffles with peanut butter fairly often. *g*

This is going to be like the pets as weights post, isn't it.

"So, I have this weird thing..."

"OMG! Me too!"

"ME TOO!"

"Me too...or three...or four."

That's what you get for making posts like this. ;)

I used to eat this for breakfast! It's sort of peanut butter sandwichy, but more vanilla-sweet, yes?

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yes. I think I was suprised at the suggestion because I hadn't had waffles since I was a kid.

I'm horribly hooked now though.

Here in France we don't have the actual waffles (tho I could easily make them come to think of it!!) but we use buckwheat pancakes, (galettes au ble noir) and have savoury on them. Peanut butter does go well. yummy!

That sounds mouthwatering delicious.

It's surprisingly good. I am...surprised!

Not sure I could cope with peanut butter for breakfast. Have you tried porridge made with skimmed milk (with spice and raisins, or cinnamon and applesauce)? I find it really filling.

Hmmm. It's a bit better than cold cereals, but still doesn't stick with me long. However, I'm thinking that it might make a nice mid-morning snack, so I grabbed some at the grocery store today to test.

Actually one of my favorites. :) I top the peanut butter with some ground flaxseed and cut up strawberries or apples.

I got a bag of flaxseed at the store tonight, so I'm going to try it. Thanks for the suggestion.

No fruit yet. It was a BAD produce night at the grocery store.
