Mexican Horchata is a simple recipe not only for Cinco de Mayo. I discovered Horchata a couple of years ago and immediately fell in love with it!

In this recipe, I combined the traditional horchata drink with aroz con leche, a similat yet different recipe as for the texture. It's made from rice and almonds, flavored with lime and cinnamon and sweetened with a lot of sugar.

It was easy to replace sugar with a low-carb sweetener, but the rice... Don't worry, I didn't use Cauli-rice, I used chia seeds instead!

Martina Slajerova Creator of KetoDietApp.com I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food. More posts by Martina Slajerova Martina Slajerova
