This is the meal for people who say, “I’m eating clean,” then slam back truffles like it’s a high-stakes espresso-fueled heist.
On one hand, you’ve got turkey—lean, protein-packed, and approved by gym bros worldwide.
Then you sabotage that virtue with luxurious, dark espresso truffles that whisper sweet nothings and scream “discipline is a scam.”
It’s basically meal prep for emotionally unstable foodies who also need a caffeine kick.
Bite into turkey for sanity. Follow it with chocolate chaos for therapy.
This combo screams balance—if by balance you mean nutritional whiplash served on a plate.
