What’s better than waffles for brunch? A brunch charcuterie board full of Lemon Raspberry Waffles!!! This brunch board is packed with the cutest, and most delicious mini waffles along with other heart healthy foods, such as strawberries, almonds, fresh mint and yummy dips! These waffles are made with real ingredients, like Limoneira lemons and are gluten-free and dairy-free!
Enjoy these waffles for breakfast in bed on Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart or as a real “wow” meal at your next family and friends gathering! We used a mini heart waffle iron for these waffles, but they can be made with any type of waffle maker.
HEART HEALTH BENEFITS
RASPBERRIES
Berries, like raspberries are high in fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants meaning they help nourish the body and reduce the risk of chronic disease such as heart disease! Fiber works to feed your “good” gut bacteria and as a result can lead to lowering inflammation, which is a risk factor for heart disease.
LEMON
Did you know that one lemon provides around 50% of your vitamin C intake for the day? Vitamin C may help lower blood pressure and some studies have shown that vitamin C may improve lipid profiles. All of these are important for heart health and reducing the risk of heart disease.
