blueberry protein waffle with avocado and cottage cheese on top. and glass of orange juice in a recycled pickle jar.
the sweetness from the blueberries in the waffle paired really nicely with the cottage cheese. the avocado and waffle alone may not have paired very well, but the cottage cheese certainly helped it taste more cohesive. the pepper flakes and salt helped tie together the whole thing, really. decided to try it to broaden my flavor profile horizon, was a good choice overall. i don't really like avocado or waffles by themselves, but together with cottage cheese? delighted. took me like. max 10 minutes to make (i had storebought waffles) there's at least 25g of protein in this one, i think the package said 25g per waffle tho, so it might be closer to 50g + whatever was in the cottage cheese. overall, balanced meal! fruit: orange juice/blueberries, veg: avocado, dairy: cottage cheese, carb: waffle, protein: waffle/cottage cheese only things that would have made it better is maybe chickpeas (more protein + fiber)? or a bit of ground flax seed (more fiber) between the layers? or maybe an egg... so many things I'll have to try out.
