Raw Oatmeal and Fresh berries with Cashew Cream and Cinnamon Zuchinni Wafers

Raw Oatmeal

Ingredients:

2 Cups of oat groats soaked

1 apple, cored but with the skin on.

2 Tablespoons of your favorite Raw sweetener. I suggest Raw Honey or 4 soaked dates. Some people use maple syrup also even though it’s not raw.

1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1 Tablespoon raw coconut oil

½ cup of water

Directions:

Place all of the ingredients in a blender or high powered food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. This comes out to the consistency of cooked oatmeal, but way more nutrient packed since none of it’s enzymes and vitamins have been cooked out of it. Sooo delicious!

Fresh Berries with Raw Vanilla Cashew Cream

For the fresh berries I suggest;

 Strawberries

 Blueberries

 raspberries
