raw breakfast "cereal"
Fall is a time for comfort food, but we still need to fuel our bodies with raw (living/uncooked) fruits and vegetables. Especially in the morning, it's important to give your body and metabolism a jump-start with a healthy breakfast. This simple raw cereal is a great way to get tons of nutrients in one hearty bowl. Eat it for an afternoon pick-me-up or savor it in the morning.

I've always wondered - what about cold days when you just really want something warm? What would a raw foodist do?
ReplyDeleteHey Mila! Very good question! There are a few options here:
ReplyDelete1) Warming foods in a dehydrator or oven is acceptable for a raw food diet. From what I understand, anything warmed gently under 100ยบ is still considered totally raw.
2) Many raw soup recipes recommend additional blending to allow the soup to warm nicely from friction alone or adding to the stove-top until warm to the touch.
3) Adding extra spices helps build internal "heat"
4) Allowing fruits and veggies to cool down to room temperature before juicing
5) And of course, drinking hot tea. :)
