To burn it off
An oblea is two big, paper thin wafers with a layer of arequipe, Colombian dulce de leche, spread between them. You buy them from street carts all over Colombia, and Floridablanca in Santander is famous for them.
A plain one with arequipe is 160 kcal, with 30 g of carbs, 3 g of fat and 3 g of protein. The wafers weigh almost nothing, the arequipe is most of it.
The cart will offer you more: blackberry jam, grated cheese, cream, sprinkles. Each one goes on top of the 160, so the full house is a different snack.
Tips
- 1Have it with arequipe only, it's the classic for a reason.
- 2Pick one extra, not all of them.
- 3Share one if you also want a coffee and something salty.
