Instead, he gets a protein packed breakfast with 2 fruit servings to start his day We love the strawberry waffles from Eggo, it kinda taste like you are eating a PB&J sammy minus all the sugar! This is a super simple breakfast or snack that you could make it at work, if you have a toaster oven (I do!). Read More…
