Raw Cereal



My favorite morning staple when smoothies get a little tiresome.

Add to a large bowl:

One chopped apple
One sliced banana
A cup of your favorite berry
Handful of nuts (pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds etc)
Handful of raisins

Pour your favorite almond milk over the top and enjoy!

Almond Milk


Soak one cup raw almonds over night.

Drain them in the morning and toss in a blender that is 3/4 full of water.

Blend, blend, blend.

Strain with a nut milk bag. Put the liquid back into the blender.
Reserve your almond pulp for other tasty recipes.

Add two seeded dates, a sprinkle of cardamom and a tsp of vanilla and blend again.

Savor the first cup with the foam on top right away. Store the rest in the fridge for up to a week. You can use this in raw cereal, in smoothies or just straight up!
