Just wanted to do a quick check - are these waffles okay?
Van's Organic Flax Waffles,
Ingredients: Whole wheat flour (unbleached & organic), organic soybean oil, organic pear juice concentrate, organic flax meal, baking powder, sea salt, organic soy isoflavins, organic soy lecithin.

I found them at my local grocery and they are really pretty good. I thought I would ask here before I get any more, though. |

That's "pear juice concentrate," I guess. It's hard to know how much is in there, though - less than the soybean oil but more than the flax meal, baking powder, and salt. Just a thought, but I would examine them against the cereal guidelines and see how they compare. The cereal guidelines say at least 5g of fiber and no more than 8g of sugars per serving. |

| it's likely that one waffle is larger than a serving of grain |

According to the nutrition facts on the box a serving size is 2 waffles (they're as big as an Eggo waffle).
290 calories
11g fat (0 trans & 1.5 sat)
O cholesterol
290mg sodium
Total carb 26g
Dietary fiber 6g
Sugar 4g
Protein 6g
Anyway, We certainly aren't eating these every day - it is a nice sub for real waffles on occasion.
Thank you both for responding. |

The serving, as it should be for SB (not according to the package), is 30g. So check the label and see how much it says 2 waffles ["1 serving" in their words] is.
You can also make your own. There are recipes in the recipe summary.
And as always, it's your choice!
