How good are frozen waffles as a breakfast or snack?
Just like cereal, the kind of waffles you choose determines their nutrition qualities. Some frozen waffles are made only with refined flour, whereas those with at least some whole-grain flour provide more fiber and nutrients. For people who have trouble meeting their calcium needs with dairy products or other enriched foods, there are even some frozen waffles that supply 30 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for calcium. A glass of milk contains the same amount of calcium. You should always check the fat content of waffles, too, when choosing. The ultimate nutritional value of waffles, however, depends on how you serve them. If you spread a waffle with peanut butter and place apple or pear slices or raisins on top, you have a healthy, portable treat that will satisfy your hunger much longer than a waffle topped with butter or margarine and syrup. Waffles spread with vanilla yogurt and a variety of fruits like kiwi, banana and fresh or frozen berries are also excellent breakfasts or snacks
