This week's mixed heritage meal is of West African origin, paired with a touch of Brazil. I went with Maafe or groundnut stew with chicken. It originated in Mali π²π±, one of a few West African countries within my ancestry. This dish is satisfyingly spicy and has so much bold flavor to it. 10/10.
I chose Γgua de CΓ΄co, or coconut water, for the drink because it's popular in Brazil. I actually have Indigenous Amazonian roots and wanted to rep Brazil with tapioca pudding lol. π§π·
Anywho, this meal is highly nutrient dense, as it is a great source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Needless to say, coconut water is very hyrdating and is an excellent source of electrolytes. The perfect drink to have in your workout routine.β¨οΈ
