‘Ilove a Bellini made with fresh peaches. This version contains tiny little chia seeds, which pack a powerful nutritional punch. They contain loads of antioxidants, fibre, protein and omega-3s. Peaches provide a natural sweetness along with more antioxidants and vitamins.’ – Nicole Herft, author of The Healthy Hedonist.
Serves 2
80g ripe yellow peach, skin removed
15ml agave nectar
20ml Aperol
2 teaspoons white chia seeds
250ml prosecco
Thin wedges of ripe yellow peaches, to garnish
1 Place the peach into a mini food processor or blender along with the agave nectar and Aperol. Blend until smooth.
2 Transfer the purée to a small bowl and stir in the chia seeds. Leave the chia seeds to swell for about 5 minutes.
3 Divide the peach mixture between the glasses. Half-fill each glass with prosecco and mix well to distribute the peach purée with the prosecco.
4 Top with the remaining prosecco and garnish with a peach wedge.
