This is sugar free, gluten free and gut loving! So simple and highly adaptable as always!
A note on basil seeds. They are highly nutritious, inexpensive and very low in lectins in comparison to Chia. They also act the same way, so you can use them to make chia pudding or as a gelling agent/egg replacement.
With regards to my choice of Chicory root syrup, this has 70% less sugar than honey, maple or agave, it keeps blood sugar low and it’s pure prebiotic fibre is good for your gut. It also has a lovely mild sweetness and zero after taste, it’s a win, win, win!
Feel free to add in or swap out, a combination or chopped dried mango and coconut would be delicious, or add in citrus zest to other spices, the list of flavour combinations oil really endless.
