1. Raw Banana and Berry Porridge
Ingredients
- 1 cup of rolled oats, soaked overnight
- 1 sliced banana
- 1 cup of fresh berries
Directions
The oats need to be soaked overnight so that they easier to digest. Discard the water and rinse. You can then add a little freshwater or some almond or other nut milk. Add the banana and berries, and you have a simple and delicious breakfast. You can use any other fruit that you prefer, and you can also cook the porridge if you like it that way. But give the raw porridge a try first, because it is delicious, especially in summer. Even with cooked porridge, you are still getting the better of the natural fruit.
Add some nuts and seeds (also soaked overnight) for a more substantial meal.
2. Raw Nut Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup of almonds soaked overnight
- 4 cups of water
Directions
Soak the almonds overnight, then discard the water and rinse. Add the almonds and water to a nut milk machine and blend for approximately 30 seconds. You then have some genuinely delicious almond milk. You can also use other nuts to make milk, and we would suggest varying what you use, as each type of nut has a different nutritional profile. Brazil nuts make incredibly tasty nut milk.
You can drink the nut milk as it is or adds it to the above recipe’s porridge.
3. Fruit & Nut Salad

4. Banana, Blueberry & Nut Milk Smoothie
