Best Mexican Horchata Recipe

By Mijune

Horchata is a traditional Latin American and Spanish drink that’s refreshing, flavourful, lightly creamy and sweet, and very simple to prepare. It has a creamy milky texture but is made with rice and water instead of milk. Flavoured with cinnamon, it has all the comforts of rice pudding but in the form of an icy cool drink.

I’m not suggesting you swap the turkey out for tofu, unless you’d rather celebrate Meatless Monday, but there are some simple things you can do to revamp the holiday menu.

Banana Shake with Hazelnut & Chocolate Puree Recipe

By Mijune

For the banana shake, it’s essential that the bananas are frozen because they give the shake a thick and creamy texture while still keeping it healthy and light. The hazelnut & chocolate puree plus a bit of cinnamon and vanilla rounds the flavours out and complements the bananas nicely.
