Wellness Tip:

On GLP-1 medications, pairing carbohydrates with protein helps prevent energy dips and improves satiety. Collagen adds protein without heaviness, while buttermilk supports digestion, making this a gentler way to enjoy a classic waffle without overloading the system. For better blood-sugar balance, keep portions moderate and add protein on the side if needed.
