Irio (Mashed Peas and Potato Mix)
Irio is one of the most famous dishes in Kenya, a food that originated as a Kikuyu staple and spread throughout the country.Green peas and potatoes are boiled and then mashed up before whole kernels of maize (corn) are added to give the mash some extra starch and texture. This hearty and heavy Kenyan food is famous to eat with roasted nyama choma meat (nyama na irio) or just some Kenyan style stew.
Githeri (Beans and Corn)
It’s not too complicated, a Kenyan dish that consists of boiled beans, corn kernels, and possibly mixed in with a little bit of vegetables.The combination of Githeri is a filling, highly nutritious, and can be quite good when complimented with salt, pepper, chilies, and even a chapati!
Masala Chips (French Fries Masala)
The dish starts with a greasy plate of freshly deep fried french fries (chips).Tomato sauce, chili sauce, herbs, cilantro, and whatever else the chef decides are all added to the fries, coating them in a luscious sauce that will have you licking your fingers and the plate!
Kenyan Bajias
There are multiple forms of what is commonly known as bajias. The Kenyan variety (sort of borrowed from India) is normally what can be described as glorious spruced-up plate of awesome french fries (chips).Potatoes are sliced up and battered with seasoning, deep fried, and served with a Kenyan tomato salsa that is worth boasting about.
Chapati (Flatbread)
Chapatis in Kenya can trace their origin from the influence of the Indian population. Kenyan style chapatis are made with a flour dough that is wound into a coil before being rolled into a flat round circle. The dough is then fried on a skillet accompanied by plenty of oil so it becomes crispy on the edges but remains moist and doughy on the interior.Chapatis can be considered more of a special form of Kenyan food, a treat to eat. Chapatis go well with fried cabbage, beans, or even just rolled up with a cup of tea!
Nyama Choma (Roasted Meat) – Pride of Kenyan Food
Any Kenyan food list is not complete without a mention of nyama choma,
also known as roasted meat. Goat and beef are the 2 most common forms
of nyama choma, but chicken (kuku choma) and fish (samaki choma) are
also valid choices.Fat and the grizzle from the meat is the choice part of the animal, and is often consumed with a quick dip into a pile of salt for extra flavoring! It’s also possible at many places to get the “fry,” – the fried meat variation.
Ugali (Cornmeal Staple)
The undeniable most common Kenyan food staple is ugali – usually made from cornmeal that is added to boiling water and heated until it turns into a dense block of cornmeal paste. Ugali has the consistency of a grainy dough and the heaviness of a brick.For many Kenyans, ugali along with a small amount of cooked vegetables or saucy stew is a normal meal.

Ingredients
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
Scant 1/16th tsp. salt (do not skip this)
1/2 tsp. Stevia
Enough milk to make blender work(about 1/2 cup)
1 cup milk
1 scoop BioTrust protein powder
Directions
Whisk 1 cup skim milk, cocoa powder, salt, and Stevia in microwave-save bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and then microwave for another 30 seconds. Let cool and pour into an ice cube tray. Put in freezer until frozen solid. Pop half of the frozen cubes into a blender, add about 1/2 cup milk (or whatever it takes to make your blender work well) and protein powder. I add a little bit more Stevia to make it a little sweeter while I'm mixing it, but that would be up to you. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!
