Low-Cal Waffle Combos

The freezer aisle of your grocery store is stocked with a hearty selection of whole-grain toaster waffles that have less than 100 calories per serving. That's a low-calorie, grain-rich base for tasty combos that go way beyond butter and syrup. The fruity options are great, but we love savory ones, too—a riff on chicken-and-waffles and a ham-and-egg special. Nutrition information is for one Van's Multigrain Belgian waffle plus toppings.

Our Peaches & Cream Waffle—with its light vanilla ice cream, sliced peaches, and cinnamon—will leave the kids begging for more.
