You’re looking at something I’m completely obsessed with here – well, a couple of things, actually, if you count my flowers. Simple Truth’s frozen Gluten Free Waffles (Homestyle or Blueberry) have become a favorite snack as well as a perfect “go to” fast breakfast or lunch.
Let’s face it, we don’t always have time to make homemade Gluten Free Belgian Waffles.
My personal favorite variety of the Simple Truth frozen gluten free waffles is the blueberry – but I buy both on a weekly basis. If I’m going to have meat or eggs with the waffle(s), I go with Homestyle – but if the waffles are going to be the star of the show, I usually go with blueberry and save Homestyle for co-stars.
Either way, they are excellent.
Not only are they quick and delicious, they’re… are you sitting down??… cheap. Now there’s a word you don’t often see when you’re dealing with gluten free food, is it? They’re ridiculously inexpensive – so much so that each time I buy a couple of boxes, I’m tempted to fill my freezer. The skeptic in me keeps thinking they’re going to catch on to how much higher other gluten free food is and raise their prices.
So far that hasn’t happened, but I’m going to ask the husband to buy a special freezer for the garage to fill just in case.
Yep. They’re that good.

I can’t think of a quicker, easier, or yummier way to get your whole grains (something we in the gluten free crowd sorely lack). They’re also cholesterol free, have no artificial flavors or FD&C coloring, and are just 110 calories each.
When dealing with gluten free food, especially if I’m going to be writing one of my gluten free food reviews, I love to ask my “glutenites” (family members who eat gluten) what they think about it. I want to make sure it passes the “tastes like its gluten-y counterpart.” After all, I’ve forgotten at this point what “they” taste like, so I like to pull in my experts. I also want to see if they can detect anything “off.”
My ‘ites all give very high praise to Simple Truth’s Gluten Free Frozen Waffles. They say they taste just like “regular” frozen waffles and think they’re just as delicious as I do.
True Story: This has now happened twice, actually. When I first toasted up a few of the Homestyle waffles, buttered them, poured a respectable (by my calculations) amount of syrup on them, and took a bite – I immediately went to the freezer to re-examine the box to make sure they said Gluten Free on them! With each step to the refrigerator, my paranoid brain chanted, “You blew it.. you’re going to be sooo sick… these are NOT gluten free..”
Fortunately, my paranoid brain was wrong – these just taste like they’re NOT gluten free. They’re fantastic.
Simple Truth is the “store brand” at Kroger grocery stores (my favorite grocery store chain). If you don’t have a Kroger near you, move. Kidding. You don’t have to move.
Just drive all night and day until you find one. Then fill your freezer with these guys.
