Ingredients

4 large egg whites 132g
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1 ½ tablespoons whole husk psyllium 10.5g
1 tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder (5.6g)
3 tablespoons unflavored pea protein 21g
3 tablespoons natural chocolate rice protein powder 21g
2-3 tablespoons filtered water
½ teaspoon coconut oil to grease waffle iron

Instructions

Mix egg whites with vanilla.
Add psyllium husk. Mix to combine.
Add cacao and protein powders. Mix well.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of water (until you get a batter consistency) and mix well.
Brush waffle iron with coconut oil.
Plug in waffle iron. Let the batter sit while the iron heats up. (This allows the psyllium to thicken the batter.)
When waffle iron is ready, pour batter into iron. Close iron and cook for 5 minutes (timing may vary according to waffle iron).
Top with Chocolate Hazelnut Protein Frosting (not included in macros).
Enjoy!

Notes

A note about substitutions: Instead of using 3 tablespoons each of pea and rice protein, 6 tablespoons of a pea protein blend would also work. I would not recommend other types of protein powder in this recipe.
