Protein Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich

Watch out cookies, there’s a new ice cream sandwich in town! We think these sammies can even count as breakfast, since they include waffles made with plant-based protein powder, and the “ice cream” is made just with bananas.

If we’re in a more decadent mood, we’ll add So Delicious® dairy-free ice cream to the sandwich instead of banana “ice cream” and make it official treat.

Waffles:
1 1/2 tsp ground flax
1/4 cup water

A pinch sea salt
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
