A new pop-up shop in Brussels is bringing a vegan twist and unique flavours to the classic Belgian delicacy.
Belgium is divided on many issues, but united in its love for a traditional waffle. The sweet treat can be traced back to the 15th century, but remains a staple in Belgian culture even now.
Though some may consider having any topping other than sugar or cream to be "blasphemous," the Belgian company Lehios has taken on the challenge of bringing a new flavour profile to the treat, with a healthier twist.
As a Liège native, Paolo Bari, the creator of Lehios, was no stranger to the world of waffles. But as a boxer, his choices for treats were limited. "At the time, I made do with protein bars, but they were often unsatisfactory," Bari writes on Lehios' website.
That's when he had an epiphany: "Why not create a waffle that meets my needs? A nourishing, digestible waffle, with proteins, quality fats, less sugar, and new flavours," Bari said.
Until 8 March, Lehios' protein vegan waffles will be available at a pop-up 'Waffle Bar' by the entrance of the Brüt by färm Tenbosch shop in Ixelles.
