With the arrival of the cold weather, December, Christmas, movie afternoons on the sofa and the desire to spend time at home and with the family, what we want from Astrid Organic Tapas Bar is to share a series of ideas of healthy snacks or afternoon teas for those long winter evenings in the company of family and friends.
Homemade granola:
If you still don't know what granola Don't worry. We'll tell you.
Granola is mainly composed of oats and a wide variety of nuts covered by a honey, vanilla and oil layer, which upon contact with the heat of the oven form a crunchy texture.
Granola has gained popularity, and although it is most common to associate this preparation with breakfast time, it is also a perfect snack to tide oneself over until winter afternoons.
As we were saying The preparation is very simple. you will only have to grab a good jar of oats (you can use different types of oats to notice a greater contrast in textures), nuts to taste, voluntarily you can also incorporate puffed rice, and then you will mix everything together and add a splash of olive oil (make sure it's extra virgin), honey, vanilla extract, and as a personal touch you can also use cinnamon the striped coconut to give it more flavour.
Once everything is well mixed, put it in the oven for about 15 minutes at 150 ° and when it's ready we'll get a crunchy, healthy and delicious granola to munch on over Christmas.
Hummus
If you'd rather have something savoury, you can also opt for the hummus. This recipe for Arabic origin it is a perfect option for the afternoon snack. Furthermore, if you make it yourself you can taste hummus in different flavours, ranging from avocado hummus, pepper hummus, beetroot hummus, etc.
To make our homemade hummus we will only need cooked chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin, a little lemon juice, water, tahini, and in the case of wanting to use a specific ingredient to give it another flavour, it would be a matter of adding it to the mixture and whisking everything until you get a smooth batter.
Acai Bowl
This popular mix which is served topped with fruit, granola, or some kind of spread, whether peanut, cocoa, etc. It is one of the most popular snacks of recent years, thanks to its spectacular appearance and your such a distinct flavour.
The Açaí it is a fruit that grows in the Amazon rainforest, specifically to the north of Brazil. Its size is rather small and its colour is purple, which is the reason why the colours of these plates are so striking and pleasant. The most common thing is to acquire this dried fruit or solely the frozen pulp, to mix it with whatever fruits we deem appropriate to obtain a unique blend of flavours very healthy and very tasty.
