I love coloring food in natural ways. It is one of my favorite things to do. I mean who doesn’t love green grinch muffins, or blue under the sea pudding, or pink waffles at Valentine’s day?!

Sadly, these waffles are harder to keep pink than I realized. I tried this recipe about 4 times. The waffles came out amazing, but the color is dulled in the cooking process.

That said, they are still pink-ish inside, and SUPER TASTY! Especially paired with the sweetest tart chia strawberry sauce I’ve ever had.

These waffles are LOADED with flavor and nutrients. Containing beet powder, and strawberries for loads of antioxidants, as well as collagen peptides, chia seeds, eggs and almond flour making them protein-rich. You won’t be hungry after these, that is for sure.

They are also super easy to whip up in a hurry and makes enough for 8 waffles. I like to make a batch every week or two and freeze them for Addie’s breakfasts! I pop them in our convection oven for a few minutes and they are as good as fresh.

Instructions

 

• Start by heating your waffle iron to medium heat

• Now, rinse your frozen strawberries with warm water to soften them. I use a 12 oz bag from Aldi, and just fill it with warm water to thaw them
• Add all your strawberries to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth
• Add 1/2 cup of your pureed strawberry to your dry ingredients, along with your eggs, milk and raw honey
• Mix well, and spoon your batter onto the heated iron to allow the waffles bake
• While your waffles are baking, add the lemon juice, honey, and chia seeds to the remaining strawberry puree and pulse to mix
• Top your warm waffles with the strawberry sauce and enjoy!

Notes

My iron has a self-timer and beeps when they are done, if yours does not, it shouldn't take longer than 6-10 minute
