1. Peanut Butter and Jelly

Ahh...yes, a classic combo. Reminds us of elementary school lunches, after-school snacks, late-night snacks. All of the snacks, TBH.

2. Peanut Butter and Chocolate

Homemade peanut butter cups stacked on a plate on a white tablecloth.

While jelly might be considered more mainstream, don't sleep on the epicness that is peanut butter and chocolate. Great in shakes, cakes, and, of course, candy bar form, it's a flavour bomb.

3. Coffee and Donuts

OK, now let's get serious. Donuts + coffee? That freshly brewed hot coffee, enjoyed with that sweet, pillowy donut. The perfect pair to join you on road trips, work breaks, study sessions, breakfasts in bed — you name it.

4. Bacon and Eggs

There is absolutely nothing better than waking up to the smell of bacon and eggs on a Saturday morning. And yes, waking up to the smell. Nobody wants to actually do the work of cooking bacon and eggs.

5. Apples and Cinnamon

Oatmeal porridge with banana, cinnamon, and almonds in a white bowl. Healthy breakfast food.

Nothing more warming on a cold winter day than apples and cinnamon. Put the pair on oatmeal, put it on a piece of toast, or maybe just roll a whole apple in some cinnamon. The world is your oyster, my friend. Break the rules!

6. Strawberry and Banana

The morning smoothie just wouldn't be the same without our beloved strawberry and banana. 

7. Cookies and Milk

If it's good enough for Santa, it's good enough for us. 

8. Fries and Milkshake

Does this one offend you? Well, it shouldn't because it's an absolute game changer. We think its the mixture of the salty + sweet that really make this flavour combo incredible.

9. Strawberries and Balsamic Vinegar

Sure, salty + sweet is pretty delicious but sweet + sour? Mind blown. You don't need to have this combo in just a salad either. Try it with a reduced balsamic (aka balsamic glaze), which brings a sweet/tart flavour to your strawberry.

How did we do? Sound off in the comments and let us know your favourite food combos we might have missed.
