Sticky Rice Pasta with Peaches – as an alternative to Thai Sticky Rice with Mango

I’m a HUGE fan of pasta – especially the protein-filled kind – but sometimes I don’t feel like doing the savory thing…

One of my favorite dishes of all time is Thai Sticky Rice with Mango, and so I decided to recreate that here with @banzapasta Chickpea Rice and the juiciest Peach that there ever was! Filled with 11g of protein and 5g of fiber per serving, this is such a great plant-based meal – even though it tastes like dessert.

 INGREDIENTS:

• 1 box @banzapasta Rice
• 1/2 cup @cocogoodsco Coconut Cream
• 2 TB Chia Seeds
• 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup of Erythritol (or other sweetener of choice)

Toppings:

• 1/2 of Peach
• agenerous helping of Manuka Honey
• 2 TB. Coconut Chips with Sunflower & Chia Seeds (although that was after the picture)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Boil 4 cups water with a heavy pinch of salt
2. Add in a bag of @banzapasta Rice
3. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until al dente
4. Drain and rinse with cold water
5. Pour the Rice into a bowl and add in 1/2 cup @cocogoodsco Coconut Cream
6. Stir in 2 TB of Chia Seeds
7. Also add in 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract and 1/4 cup of Erythritol (or other sweetener of choice)
8. Allow to cool in the fridge before serving
9. I topped mine with a 1/2 of Peach and agenerous helping of Manuka Honey – and then some Coconut Chips (although that was after the picture)
10. Now eat and enjoy!
