I�m always trying to master the art of one-handed grazing/snacking, particularly for snacks in the 100-200 calorie range, high in protein and fiber, and tasty. Fruit is great, but it doesn't give me that "fullness" I need.

I�ve got a new recipe that I�m in LOVE with right now.

I made a big batch of waffles, using this as a basic batter:

1 c homemade skim milk ricotta cheese (easy to do � google it!)
1 c flaxseed (I can recommend a supplier here in Seoul, much cheaper than GNC - it's also better to grind it yourself)
1 c ground Quaker Oatmeal
.5 c wheat germ (brought from overseas, almost out )
1 c buckwheat flour (Emart � it�s actually only 80% buckwheat and 20% wheat flour)

Baking powder
2 eggs and 6 egg whites
~ 1 c skim milk.

Then I quartered the recipe and flavoured them individually, with one batch as peanut butter/banana, one orange-craisin, one chocolate protein powder (Costco) and one apple-raisin-cinnamon. The flavouring allows you to eat it later without wanting to put syrup or other stuff on it.

Each bunch made about 5 small waffles, each around 180 calories, with a 40/30/30 carb/protein/fat ratio. Remember that most of the fat comes from the flax, which is unsaturated and high in Omega 3s. I logged my recipe at www.nutritiondata.com to get a breakdown on the nutrition of it. Each waffle amounts to about 30% of my daily value for protein, 20% of fiber, 10% of carbs, and 10% of fat. Each also has 1000 mg of Omega 3s, so it�s about the equivalent of a fish oil capsule.

I have a toaster at my office, so now when I�m hungry, I can pull a waffle out of the freezer, toast it for a minute, wrap it in a paper towel and go back to my desk.

If you don�t have a waffle maker, you could probably make pancakes with these (make them small so they cook well) but they probably won�t be as yummy.
