Nutrition Facts

These waffles are a good choice for someone with a slight lactose sensitivity (not for individuals with lactose intolerance!). Kefir is better tolerated than milk because it contains β-galactosidase the enzyme which breaks lactose down into galactose and glucose (the effect is limited to the lactose present in kefir).

Berries are a group of fruit which have been observed to greatly benefit brain health and, if eaten throughout a lifetime can help to prevent dementia and alzheimer's disease. This is mostly due to high levels of different Antioxidants present in berries. They can prevent a damage to brain neurons caused by free radicals.

Berries are also a great source of other Vitamins and Fibre.

Let us not forget about eggs. Eggs have the most perfect Amino Acids content for humans out of all food available. They are also rich in Iron and Vitamin D.
