⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high sugar and refined carbohydrate content can lead to rapid blood sugar spikes, making it less ideal for those managing diabetes or seeking sustained energy. To counteract this, pair a portion with a source of protein (like Greek yogurt or nuts) or healthy fat (like avocado) to slow sugar absorption, and practice strict portion control by sticking to a single serving.

FAQ
Are these wafers suitable for a vegan diet?
No, the milk chocolate filling contains dairy, making them unsuitable for vegans.
What is the primary source of protein in these wafers?
The small amount of protein comes primarily from the wheat flour alternative (like rice or corn flour) used in the gluten-free wafer batter.
How should I store an opened package to maintain freshness?
Reseal the package tightly or transfer wafers to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place to prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing moisture.
