The entire homemade protein cookie has 380 cal, 20g fat, 18g net carb, 31g protein – half would make a great post-workout snack and the whole thing can sub for a mini meal on the go – like a busy day breakfast!

It’s super easy to make one of these protein powder cookies with Clean Lean Protein (Strawberry) from Nuzest – a plant-based, gluten-free, no-added-yucky-or-questionable-ingredient protein powder I love.

I actually made this massive single-serving cookie recipe for one in my toaster oven, so easy and convenient! Of course, a regular oven works too!

NOTES:

Flour: I used a gluten-free flour blend, but you can swap for the flour of choice. However, this may vary the macros and texture.

Cook in Oven or Toaster Oven: I cooked in my Omni Plus Air Fryer / Toaster Oven – however, the first one I tried on “air fry,” burned quickly but on the “toaster” feature at 350F degrees, it worked perfectly  — about 8 to 10 minutes in a toaster oven or conventional oven.

Protein Powder: Again, I used Nuzest, a plant-based protein powder. Use my Nuzest discount code FITFORK to save 15% (if they aren’t already having a better deal)! You could also swap in an equal portion of whey protein. The texture is somewhat dense, due to a high volume of protein powder (I wanted a 30g+ protein cookie). If you want something lighter and fluffier, cut the protein powder in half and mix back in with an equal swap of more flour – a traditional flour or gluten-free baking blend will work best.

Toppings: I topped with sugar-free white chocolate chips and fresh strawberries, but honestly, you could add almost anything – nuts, seeds, dried fruit, etc. Just lightly press everything into the raw dough.

The featured ingredient in this cinnamon protein powder waffle is, you guessed it . . . protein powder! Use the protein powder product of your choice, but I am a fan of the plant-based Clean Lean Protein from Nuzest (I used the Smooth Vanilla flavor for this recipe).

Other Ingredients in Simple Cinnamon Protein Waffles:

Green Banana Flour:  This alternative “flour” is packed with minerals, loaded with gut-helping prebiotics and can help reduce your glycemic load. It’s also naturally gluten-free. You may swap in an equal amount of another flour, if preferred.  Like a coconut flour, oat flour, a gluten-free blend, or traditional wheat flours.

Egg: The incredible, edible egg adds 6g of protein to this recipe and help keep the waffles ligher and fluffier – not like some sort of protein powder brick.

Almond Milk: or, another unsweetened milk alternative

Ground Cinnamon: Cinnamon is an amazing superfood spice! I like using Ceylon Cinnamon, referred to by many as the one “true cinnamon.” It offers a great source of cinnamaldehyde, the essential oil that provides the signature cinnamon flavor and smell – along with assisting in certain metabolic, infections, digestive and/or respiratory disorders.  The studies with cinnamon that have grabbed my attention is how the spice can help lower blood sugar, and thusly may have positive implications for those with/or avoiding diabetes and metabolic syndromes.

Making Cinnamon Protein Waffles:

Start by whisking egg in a small bowl and then stir in the remaining ingredients.

The batter should be a medium thickness, meaning “pourable” but not too runny. If your batter seems too gloppy, add more almond milk (a teaspoon at a time). If too thin, add more flour, a half-teaspoon at a time.

Make sure to pre-heat waffle iron. My protein waffles did not stick to the iron at all, but it was a new mini waffle iron, with non-stick coating. If needed, oil or spray the waffle iron plates as needed.

Meal Prepping and Freezing Waffles with Protein Powder:

To freeze cinnamon protein waffles, allow them to cool completely, in a single layer. If you used a large waffle iron, pull them apart along the perforation to make single pieces. Place waffles on pan in the freezer for about an hour to “pre freeze.” This will keep them from ultimately sticking together in the bag.

Transfer partially frozen cinnamon waffles into a zip-top bag or storage container and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

You can reheat frozen waffles in the toaster. Or, also in an oven preheated to 350F for 10 minutes, or air-fryer set at 390 F for 5 minutes or until thoroughly warmed and crispy.

Although this vanilla protein powder waffle recipe is written for a individual portion, you can meal prep it my simply multiplying how many servings you’d like. For example, 1 1/3 cup of protein powder, 4 eggs, 1 cup almond milk, ¼ cup green banana flour and 1 tsp baking soda would allow you to meal prep protein waffles and stock your freezer for busy mornings.

Optional Apple Maple Topping for Cinnamon Protein Waffles :

A single-serving batch of Cinnamon Protein Waffles can be whipped up in minutes to help fuel you’re the day’s adventures (or endless task of errands, by default). Gluten-free, no added sugar, and low in carbs. Simple to scale up for meal prep and store in freezer.

Need protein waffle topping ideas?! On of my favorites is the sugar-free maple apple topping you see in the photo below. Simply dice up 1/4 of an apple and microwave with a pat of butter until softened. Then, stir in 1/4 cup sugar-free maple flavored syrup before drizzling all over your cinnamon waffles with protein powder.

Double Chocolate Protein Waffles

AND, if you’re a chocolate fan, you’ll not want to miss my Double Chocolate Protein Waffles – another delicious way to incorporate more plant-based protein into your morning. A very similar recipe to the Cinnamon Protein Waffles – only with flavor changes!

So Fast Creamy Tomato Soup

Posted on by

I’ve always had a thing for creamy tomato soup. It’s comforting and tastes like a hug – and my kids say it double as a dip for grilled cheese or breadsticks.

Need some comfort food fast? This quick and easy-option for creamy tomato soup will remind you of your favorite deli or casual dining spot. But, you can make it at home, in just about 5 minutes, thanks to healthier convenience items you can mostly store in the pantry.

Since I love ordering creamy tomato soup in a restaurant, I thought – why not try to make a copy-cat Panera tomato soup or copy-cat La Madeline tomato basil soup at home with convenience products?

ingredients for So Fast Creamy Tomato Soup - thefitfork.com
Easy ingredients, most you can keep in pantry!

The recipe tastes like it’s been simmering all day under the mindful watch of a grandmother but, in reality, it’s been thrown together in mere minutes with healthier convenience products.

Tomato-Based Pasta Sauce: The beauty here is a jarred sauce has an almost eternal pantry shelf life, saves hours of preparation time over homemade and thus adds an instant, rich, complex flavor to the soup. You can slightly switch up the flavor profiles of this tomato soup recipe depending on what variety (like garlic, spicy, etc.). I look for no-added-sugar options and am a fan of marinara and tomato pasta sauces from Primal Kitchens.

Prepared Broth: Use broth, chicken or vegetable (depending on your preferences) from a carton, jar, stock base or even reconstituted from a bouillon cube. For this semi-homemade recipe, I used the clean-label Chicken Bone Broth Culinary Concentrate from Zoup!! They also make the best-tasting vegan veggie broth I have ever tasted.

Petite-diced Tomatoes: Adding finely chopped tomatoes to give the semi-homemade tomato soup a little more texture is just a Jennifer thing. Traditional creamy tomato soups are . . .. well, smooth and creamy. So, if you don’t like chunks in your soup, then simple omit and add 6 ounces more pasta sauce.

Heavy Cream (or Coconut Cream): Cream makes everything better, right?! This recipe used “just enough” cream to tone down acid tomatoes and add a rich, full-bodied mouth feel while keeping the macros pretty balanced. If you are vegan or lactose-intolerant, the cream may be swapped out in an equal portion for full-fat coconut cream from a can – the unsweetened stuff. However, the soup flavor will change – but it’s still delicious!

Herbs and Spices: Ground black pepper please! Also, elevate your traditional or vegan creamy tomato soup with fresh herbs. Basil is oh-so-traditional, or go for parsley, thyme or sage. If you don’t have fresh, a freeze-dried herb from Litehouse is the next-best option.

Protein Boost:  Sometimes I want soup on the side, sometimes I want main-dish soup. I have an easy mix-in when making a meal out of a simple soup that includes no major source of protein other than from a smattering from veggies and broth – unflavored collagen. Yes, simply mix in a one to two servings of an unflavored collagen and the protein grams jump up significantly! I use a beef-sourced collagen from Great Lakes Wellness (discount code: THEFITFORK10OFF), but you can find other options including marine-based.

Throw all these things in a pot, stir over medium-heat until warmed (don’t boil), and BOOM you have just made three generous servings of an amazing tomato soup.

Need some comfort food fast? This quick and easy-option for creamy tomato soup will remind you of your favorite deli or casual dining spot. But, you can make it at home, in just about 5 minutes, thanks to healthier convenience items you can mostly store in the pantry.
