A friend introduced me to two things:chia seeds and agave nectar. They are both foods from Mexico. Agave nectar is a healthier alternative to sugar and chia is a superfood which I still have to do some research on.
I was planning on making a chia dessert with strawberries and raw cacao but that had to wait for a while because my aunt gave me a bunch of over-ripe peaches. She suggested I make jam with them but I don't make jam anymore due to the large sugar content.
I'll be boring and call this peach and chia seed dessert. It was very impromptu and needs a few tweaks here and there but I was really pleased with my ingenuity. Plus it satisfied my sweet tooth AND was healthy. Here's what went inside it:
4 or 5 ripe peaches
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp baobab flour
Some flaked almonds
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp ginger
It was very easy to make. I blended the peaches, then mixed the rest of the ingredients in and left the seeds to swell up for an hour or two. I tried it cold and then I tried it hot. I much preferred it hot,yum!
