Raw Oatmeal

I got a comment on my Chia Powder posting asking about organic rolled oats.

Oatmeal is a wonderful breakfast staple; organic rolled oats are packed with protein and fiber.

However I find that when eating oatmeal it can sometimes be bland and boring, and I'm always looking for ways to spruce it up. Eating should never feel like a chore. You should enjoy what you're consuming!

Protein powders, honey, agave, almond mylk ,berries. I've tried it all.

Sure, its edible, however the more you add, the more you create a monster meal!!
Because oatmeal is carb heavy, its imperative to be mindful how serving sizes.

The best way, I believe, to eat oatmeal is RAW.

Bare with me....

Makes one serving.........

Place 1/2 cup of Organic Rolled Oats (can be found in health food stores and some supermarkets)
in a bowl of purified water, cover and place in the fridge OVERNIGHT

Take 1-4 pitted dates (figs work too) and almonds (almonds are optional) in a bowl of purified water, covered, and place in the fridge over night.

In the morning, take your oatmeal out of fridge (it should look plump as it should have absorbed some of the water), place contents of bowl into a blender (some choose to drain the oats and use fresh water, as you wish).

Remove the dates + nuts from the fridge, drain and add to the blender.

Feel free to add some vanilla extract (a drop) and cinnamon

Blend until smooth; feel free to add more water or rice/almond mylk/coffee for a more desired texture.

Enjoy!

++Raw oatmeal contains more nutrients and enzymes than cooked oatmeal, as most of you can imagine. The process of subjecting a food to high heat kills off a lot of enzymes that we can benefit from.
