Low Calorie Breakfast: Waffles & Fruit Preserves

I had no idea Waffles with Fruit Spread and Yogurt could taste so good. I've always drizzled waffles with syrup but after this experience - never again! In this case, the brand of product you choose will make a difference.

* Select a whole grain waffle (or as close to it as you can get), with fiber and protein if possible.
* The fruit preserves should be sugar free, but if you're a natural food purist then this option is out for you so try and choose something where you can see the chunks of fruit and is not laden with sugar.
Polaner Sugar Free Strawberry Preserves with Fiber
* As for the dollop of yogurt on top - don't be tempted to skip this to save calories! Choose a thick Greek yogurt - plain, non-fat if you can - and your mouth will be rewarded with bursting flavor when you bite into this waffle. And trust me - all this can be achieved for less than 300 calories!

Two (2) Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Oat Waffles: 160 calories, 3 grams of fat, no saturated fat, 3 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar and 6 grams of protein. Another good choice for waffles, Natures Path Organic Optimum Power Waffles.
Polaner Sugar Free Strawberry Preserves with Fiber - so good in everything (we reviewed Polaner Sugar Free Blueberry Topping). Each tablespoon provides 10 calories, no fat or sugar (sweetened with Splenda). Put 1 tablespoon on each waffle.
Voskos Plain Original Greek Yogurt (I know I said non-fat but this is what I had on hand). I like Voskos better than Fage. Each 8 ounce serving has 280 calories, 20 grams of total fat (31% of the DV), 12 grams of which is saturated (62% of the DV), 9 grams of protein and 10 grams of sugar. I used 1 tablespoon on each which is about 1/8th of a serving.

This breakfast provides is approximately 220 calories, 5% of the DV for both total and saturated fat, 7 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 8 grams of sugar. You have got to try this for breakfast and tell me what you think!
