A few years ago when I first went to university, I vowed to lose weight by eating in such a way that was healthy, satiating, convenient and cheap. I began a journey that was half typical university student (convenience foods and odd combinations of instant foods) and half passionate foodie (finding random boutique groceries). Please enjoy my blog :)
Americans love adding waffles and bacon to everything. In fact, the only things missing from here are maple syrup and peanut butter, or perhaps maple syrup flavoured peanut butter. Or maple-flavoured bacon. In any case, these are Nanna's waffles, which are the lowest carb brand of waffles available (each waffle being something like 40 calories). They are extremely easy to prepare (I either toast them or heat them in the microwave, it depends on wether I want crunchy or pancake-soft).
I work at Max Brenner, where they make filled crepes by folding the crepes into fourths as they are being filled. At the same time, I was buying tons of Nanna's waffles on special and cooking sheets of them in the microwave. I noticed that the sheets of waffles were rather similar to crepes, realised I also had yogurt and strawberries. And that Max Brenner makes strawberries and cream crepes. And I put two and two together. One pack of waffles, a punnet of strawberries and half a tub of chobani result in two reasonably sized servings.
