But there are also cinnamon brown sugar and wild blueberry varieties.<\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p>Although they come from Kellogg\u2019s and look like a tanned version of America\u2019s most popular frozen waffle, they definitely do not taste like an Eggo. <\/p>\n<p>When eaten sans syrup, the vanilla and buttermilk flavor are noticeable, but they\u2019re not potent enough that I can imagine me eating these without some kind of sweet condiment. Toasting them makes the exterior a little crispy and the interior soft. Of course, that\u2019s prior to me giving them a syrup shower.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Off-The-Grid-Vanilla-Buttermilk-Waffles-Tanned.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Off The Grid Vanilla Buttermilk Waffles Tanned\" title=\"Off The Grid Vanilla Buttermilk Waffles Tanned.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the whole grains do give these a slightly grainy texture and different flavor compared to an Eggo, I thought they tasted decent. But Eggo Homestyle Waffles do taste a little better to me. Store brand pancake syrup that has been carefully added to the brim of every pocket in the waffle adds a much-needed flavor. (Yup, that\u2019s how I do syrup on waffles.) Thankfully, it doesn\u2019t completely mask the vanilla and buttermilk.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>A serving of two waffles has 13 grams of protein (12 grams of complete protein), which is 24 percent of your daily recommended intake. Unfortunately, unlike regular Eggo waffles, they\u2019re not fortified with 20-25% of your RDA of a bunch of vitamins and minerals, like calcium, folic acid, vitamin A, etc, All you\u2019re getting with these is protein, some fiber, and a minuscule amount of vitamin D, iron, calcium, and potassium.<\/p>\n<p>According to the box, complete proteins contain all nine of the special essential amino acids in the right amounts. Our bodies don\u2019t make or store these amino acids so we have to get them through food.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how these differ from Kodiak Cakes Power Waffles, I have to admit I haven\u2019t had them. But what I do know is that a box of Kodiak Cakes has 10 waffles per box, while Off The Grid has eight. And I also know protein waffles are expensive.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Off The Grid Vanilla Buttermilk Waffles are fine for what they are \u2014 frozen waffles. If you&#8217;re looking for a product that provides protein, these are a decent tasting option. But they don\u2019t convince me to completely leggo the Eggo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $6.49*<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 8 waffles\/box<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Target<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2 waffles) 230 calories, 11 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 310 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 13 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p>*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
