A Rawtarian Breakfast: Porridge

The Rawtarian’s Thoughts

Raw porridge is a perfect way to start your morning! It’s great because it’s super quick – think 4 minutes or less.

Most mornings I’ll start my day with a smoothie. However, if I’m in the mood for a litte more excitement I’ll perhaps have raw cereal, raw oatmeal or raw porridge 🙂

I like to keep both whole chia seeds and milled chia seeds on hand. I use milled chia seeds in this recipe.

PS:  You can use either whole chia seeds or milled chia seeds. Milled is best but whole will do. “Milled” just means ground. If you have a clean coffee grinder that you use for nut and seed grinding you can mill your own.  But you can buy pre-milled chia seeds too. If you can only have one type on hand I’d go for whole chia seeds.

Enjoy your raw porridge for breakfast and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

1/3 cup chia seeds

2/3 cup water

1 tablespoon raisins

1 tablespoon dried shredded coconut

1 teaspoon honey

Optional: pumpkin seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, etc.

Directions

1. Put chia seeds in bowl. Add water. Stir thoroughly RIGHT AWAY otherwise it’ll clump up.

2. Add honey and coconut and mix more with your spoon. Chia seeds will absorb a lot of water really fast and thicken up.

3. Add anything else you want, like 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, a few almonds, 1/2 tablespoon sunflower seeds etc. Just for taste and to give it some excitement.

4. By now your raw chia porridge should be pretty thick.

5. For extra pleasure, top your raw porridge with cashew milk and fresh or thawed blueberries.

What is a “raw vegan?” A raw vegan is someone who eats only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds–none of which are ever heated above 105F (40.6 Celsius). That’s it. Raw vegan recipes include cookies, brownies, cakes, crackers, macaroni and cheese, cheesecake, and more. All made from fruit, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. No bread products, no dairy products, just raw, natural ingredients! There is a whole movement of “raw vegans” (or “raw fooders”) who invent and share creative raw food recipes. Raw vegans prepare recipes using blenders and food processors instead of ovens and microwaves! ”Like” The Rawtarian on Facebook, and visit her for more great recipe ideas at therawtarian.com
