Protein: 10 grams

Cream cheese, roasted sunflower kernels, and whole-grain bread are the keys to this waffle sandwich’s big nutritional value. Try whipped ricotta cheese or plain Greek yogurt rather than cream cheese for even more protein. When strawberries aren’t in season, try this protein-rich vegetarian breakfast recipe with sliced bananas instead.
