I’m particularly excited about today’s recipe as it includes one of my favorite childhood foods: waffles. As some of you may know, part of my family is originally from Belgium and I spent many years living in Brussels. Next to chocolate, beer and fries, waffles are one of Belgium’s top foods. Traditionally, they include eggs and milk, but it’s very easy to veganize them! I’ve teamed up with Rebbl and instead of milk, used their Dark Chocolate Protein elixir. It’s delicious as is, but mixed into … [Read more...] about Dark Chocolate Protein Waffles With Fresh Fruit

She is one of those people who seem almost inapproachable via the social media lens, simply because of how successful and well-known she is. When I finally met her, however, the first thing that struck me was how down to earth and truly relatable she is. Rens is a bestselling author, blogger and recipe developer from the Netherlands who just published her fourth book in under … [Read more...] about In The Kitchen With… Rens Kroes
