Snacking at Forum and buying quinoa, chia and almond flour

• Good evening friends, I hope you are having a great weekend... I had some time reading a lot of recipes with ingredients that are very healthy, but some of them I didn't have in my pantry, among those are: chia seeds, quinoa and almond flour. I tell you that months ago I made a dessert with chia, but the truth is that I did not like the result, as I felt its consistency a little unpleasant, without giving a second chance I gave the whole product to my neighbor, soon after she gave me a serving of Greek yogurt ice cream with fruit and chia, I was in love with the result! She explained to me in great detail how she had processed the seeds so that they had such a tasty and pleasant texture to the palate. As I have told you in previous occasions, I have not consumed sugar products for 7 months, my second goal is to stop consuming wheat and corn flour, I know that this challenge will not be easy, since I love arepas and empanadas, but in this path towards a healthier diet, I will try to use my creativity in the kitchen, I will try to replace these ingredients with others, where the recipes will be just as tasty. To buy the almond flour I was comparing prices in different supermarkets and bodegones, since it is expensive, I found that its price is similar in all the establishments I visited, I bought it thinking that it was not an expense, but an investment to maintain a much healthier life. When I got to the supermarket, I sat down to have a coffee with milk and some whole grain cookies, I was lucky that the background music was great, I really enjoyed listening to music from the 80's. I took the opportunity to buy quinoa, I have read a lot about its incredible properties and benefits, there are many recipes with this wonderful ingredient. I took the opportunity to buy quinoa, I have read a lot about its incredible properties and benefits, there are plenty of recipes with this wonderful ingredient, I will be sharing my first recipes with you. I love shopping at this supermarket, the fruits and vegetables are of excellent quality and the deli is very varied, they maintain a quality control that makes you feel very confident when buying. On my next visit I will try the merengadas, there are plenty of flavors, I decided to try the merengada with mango, mint and ginger, it must taste spectacular! If you are in Caracas I recommend you to visit the Forum, you will be delighted with their excellent products and good customer service.

• Buenas noches amigos, espero que estén pasando un fin de semana genial... Tenía tiempo leyendo infinidad de recetas con ingredientesque son muy saludables, pero algunos de ellos no los tenía en mi despensa, entre esos están: las semillas de chía, la quinoa y la harina de almendras. Les cuento que hace meses realicé un postre con chía, pero la verdad que el resultado no me gustó, ya que sentí su consistencia un poco desagradable, sin dar una segunda oportunidad le regalé el producto completo a mi vecina, al poco tiempo ella me regaló una porción de helado de yogurt griego con frutas y chía, quedé enamorada del resultado! Me explicó de forma muy detallada como había procesado las semillas para que tuvieran esa textura tan sabrosa y agradable al paladar. Como les he comentado en ocasiones anteriores, hace 7 meses que no consumo productos con azúcar, mi segunda meta es dejar de consumir harina de trigo y de maíz, sé que éste reto no será fácil, ya que amo las arepas y las empanadas, pero en este camino hacia una alimentación más saludable, trataré de utilizar mi creatividad en la cocina, intentaré sustituir estos ingredientes por otros, en donde las recetas me queden igual de sabrosas. Para comprar la harina de almendras estuve comparando precios en diferentes supermercados y bodegones, ya que es costosa, comprobé que su precio es similar en todos los establecimientos que visité, la compré pensando que no era un gasto, sino una inversión para mantener una vida mucho más saludable. Al llegar al supermercado, me senté a merendar un café con leche y unas galletas integrales, tuve suerte de que el fondo musical estaba genial, disfruté mucho poder escuchar música de los 80. Aproveché de comprar quinoa, he leído mucho sobre sus increíbles propiedades y beneficios, existen infinidad de recetas con este maravilloso ingrediente, ya les estaré compartiendo mis primeras recetas. Me encanta comprar en este supermercado, las frutas y verduras son de excelente calidad y la charcutería es muy variada, mantienen un control de calidad que te hace sentir mucha confianza al comprar. En mi próxima visita probaré las merengadas, existen infinidad de sabores, decidí probar la merengada con mango, yerbabuena y jengibre, debe tener un sabor espectacular! Si estás en caracas te recomiendo que visites el Forum, quedarás encantado con sus excelentes productos y con el buen servicio al público.
