Black Sesame Latte

Black Sesame Latte

Black sesame lattes have quietly taken over cafe menus, and once you taste that deep, nutty, almost halva-like flavour, you understand why. The good news is the whole thing starts with one homemade staple: a sweetened black sesame paste made from just toasted sesame seeds and Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener (or Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener if you are in the UK), blitzed until glossy. Keep a jar in the fridge and a cafe-worthy latte is only ever two teaspoons away. The paste dissolves into hot water to form a rich sesame base, and steamed milk does the rest. It works just as well iced, which makes it one of those recipes that carries you through every season. There is no added sugar anywhere in it, and the flavour is genuinely something different from the usual chocolate and vanilla suspects. Make the paste on a Sunday and your weekday coffee order might start looking a little less tempting.

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 5 mins

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

SWEETENED BLACK SESAME PASTE

  • 250g black sesame seeds
  • ⅓ cup Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener (AU) / Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener (UK), to taste
  • 2 to 3 tbsp sesame oil, as needed

LATTE

  1. 2 tsp sweetened black sesame paste
  2. 50ml boiling water
  3. 200ml milk of choice

Methods:

  1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over low heat, stirring often, until nutty and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Let them cool until warm but comfortable to touch.
  3. Blitz the seeds and Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener (AU) / Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener (UK) in a high speed blender or food processor until a smooth paste forms, scraping down as needed. If the paste is too thick for your blender, add sesame oil a tablespoon at a time to loosen it.
  4. Taste and blend in extra sweetener if needed, then transfer to a clean glass jar and store in the fridge. Stir before each use, as the paste can firm up when chilled.
  5. To make the latte, add 2 teaspoons of the paste to a mug.
  6. Pour over the boiling water and whisk until smooth and fully dissolved.
  7. Heat and froth the milk, then pour it over the sesame base.
  8. For an iced version, whisk the paste with the hot water first, then pour over ice and top with cold milk.

Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

A chocolate smoothie bowl that tastes like dessert but comes together before your coffee has finished brewing is a rare thing. This one blends frozen bananas with Greek yoghurt and Natvia Relax Hot Chocolate for a thick, creamy base with a proper chocolatey hit. The trick to a good smoothie bowl is keeping the blend thick enough to hold its toppings, and frozen bananas do the heavy lifting here, giving you that soft-serve texture with hardly any liquid. From there it becomes a blank canvas. Pile on blueberries, raspberries, linseed meal and chia seeds, or raid the fruit bowl for whatever looks good. It works as a quick breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up or a lighter answer to late-night chocolate cravings.

Matcha Granola with White Chocolate and Cranberries

Matcha Granola with White Chocolate and Cranberries

Make matcha granola once and you will wonder why shop granola gets away with charging what it does. Toasty oats, pumpkin seeds and flaked almonds get a gentle green tea lift from matcha powder, with Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener bringing the sweetness instead of the usual syrup or sugar. Dried cranberries and no-added-sugar white chocolate turn it from virtuous to genuinely craveable, and the matcha and white chocolate pairing works exactly as well here as it does in your favourite latte. One bowl, one tray and about 15 minutes in the oven is all it takes, and the batch keeps in a jar for grab-and-go breakfasts all week. Pile it over yoghurt with a handful of fresh berries and you have a breakfast that looks like a cafe order but costs a fraction of what one would set you back.

One Pot Bibimbap

One Pot Bibimbap

Bibimbap has a reputation for being a weekend-project dinner, with every vegetable cooked separately and a sink full of pans to show for it. This rice cooker version quietly ignores all of that. The vegetables steam right on top of the rice while it cooks, so the machine does almost everything while you get on with your evening. The magic is in the bibimbap sauce, a punchy mix of gochujang, sesame oil and rice vinegar balanced with Natvia Natural Sweetener instead of the usual sugar or honey. Drizzle it over the finished bowl, add a fried egg with a runny yolk, and mix the whole thing until every grain of rice is coated. It is a proper one-appliance dinner for two that tastes like far more effort than it took. Keep a batch of the sauce in the fridge and you will find excuses to use it.
