What is gluten?

Gluten is a family of protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten is what give baked goods its elasticity and chewy texture. Combined with expanding pockets of air and gluten’s matrix in a dough, when heated the dough expands being the air inside while the gluten stretches and holds its structure when fully cooked. Thats how breads gets its texture. However, some people have a condition where their body reacted with the gluten and cause inflammatory reaction. Read more to learn what is gluten could be doing to your body, how we test our product for gluten and why our gluten free waffle mix is a game changer, offering all the delightful textures without the gluten.

Celiac disease vs gluten intolerance

Not to dwell too deep in the science, but celiac disease is an autoimmune reaction caused by eating gluten. Autoimmune, as the name suggests, auto meaning self, suggests the immune system attacked the body and cause a damage to the intestinal lining. In the intestine, there are tiny finger-like projections, called villi, that allow the increase in surface area for the purpose of increased absorption of nutrients. The immune reaction caused by gluten causes these villi to flattened and can’t effectively absorb nutrient and leading to various other problems. The symptoms could vary greatly but often includes diarrhea, stomach pain, and bloating.

Some people could also experience “Non-celiac gluten sensitivity” when consuming gluten, despite not having celiac disease. The symptoms was reported to be relatively similar of that celiac disease. However, more study is needed regarding this phenomenon.

How we test our wise waffle mix for gluten?

We tested every batch using EZ Gluten® testing kit to test the presence of gluten. They claimed that their test is capable of measuring down to 10 ppm. So much is 10 ppm? Its like detecting 10 drops of sugar into about 13 gallons of water (50 liters)! With years of experience working in food and molecular laboratories, painstaking detail has been taken to ensure that the tests performed are accurate and the result is truly a gluten-free waffle mix.

For our gluten-sensitive friends, this means you can enjoy our Wise Waffle without worry. Whether you’re craving a sweet breakfast treat or a snack, rest assured that your treat is going to be gluten-free and delicious.

Introducing the Wise Waffle: The Best Gluten-Free Protein Waffle Mix

December 13, 2023

Welcome to Proven Provisions!

At Proven Provisions, we’re thrilled to unveil our latest innovation: the Wise Waffle Mix. It’s not just any waffle mix; it’s the best gluten-free protein waffle mix designed with your health and taste buds in mind. Combining our expertise in Food Science and Pharmaceutical Science, we’ve formulated a breakfast game-changer. After extensive testing and refinement, the Wise Waffle, in our opinion, is the best gluten-free protein waffle mix out there and ready to become the highlight of your morning routine.

The Quest for Delicious Gluten-Free Protein Waffles Mix

Finding a gluten-free protein waffle mix that’s delicious and nutritious can be tough. Many of my friends, who needed a gluten-free diet, were always left disappointed by the options available. They were often disappointed by the options available—unsatisfying textures, bland flavors, and, sometimes using low-quality proteins to achieve protein claims were all too common. What’s more, many protein-rich breakfast options are based on whey protein, which doesn’t suit everyone’s dietary needs.

The search for the best gluten-free protein waffle mix is made complicated by the subtleties of nutritional labeling. Many leading brands boast about their mix’s protein content, often around 14 grams per serving. However, it’s important to note that this figure typically includes the addition of an egg and/or milk, which also increases the calorie count to somewhere around 340 per serving. This detail is usually indicated with an ‘as prepared’ note on the packaging, though it’s often in smaller font and can be easily overlooked in a quick scan. This can lead to confusion for consumers striving to make well-informed food choices.

In contrast, our Wise Waffle mix proudly offers 14 grams of high-quality protein with just 150 calories per serving—no hidden ingredients or requirements. Just pure, straightforward, and purposeful nutrition. We believe in honest labeling and delivering a health-conscious recipe that stands up to scrutiny and surpasses expectations.

Crafting the Perfect Gluten-Free Protein Waffle

Our journey to create the perfect waffle mix led us through rigorous testing of many protein sources (e.g., casein, whey, soy, pea, almond, eggs, quinoa, etc), a variety of starches and natural flavors, cooked on multiple waffle makers. After more than a year of trial and error, and hundreds of waffles eaten, we’ve struck the right balance. The Wise Waffle Mix stands out in the market, offering the highest protein content per calorie without the typical gritty texture associated with gluten-free options.

Casein protein, a high-quality and slow-digesting source, is the primary ingredient in our waffle mix. It keeps you feeling full throughout the day and pairs perfectly with traditional waffle toppings. Free from added sugars and loaded with 35% of your daily calcium needs, our gluten-free protein waffle mix is a balanced choice for a satisfying breakfast.

Exciting New Flavors on the Horizon

We’re not stopping with just one variety. Brace yourselves for the rollout of two new flavors to our gluten-free protein waffle line—cinnamon and chocolate. We want your input: should we name our chocolate mix ‘Cocoa Delight’ or ‘Chocolate Dream’? Share your thoughts with us!
