BREAKFAST IN THE RAW (for 4)

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 cups flakes (oat, kamut, spelt or a mixture)

1/4 c unsweetened coconut shreds

2 T  chia seeds

3 T hemp seeds

3 T quinoa flakes

1/2 t ground cinnamon

2 T maple syrup

2 c raw nut milk or soy milk

1-2 c fresh fruit in season

3-4 T raw nuts (optional)

Directions: 
Put all the dry ingredients (except the nuts) in a dish with a lid (I use a pyrex dish).  Stir to mix the dry ingredients.  Add the maple syrup and the milk.  Cover and let sit overnight.  
In a small bowl soak the nuts in enough water to cover.  Soaking the nuts makes them more digestible, increases the availability of nutrients and rinses off some toxins that are normally on the skins of nuts. * 
In the morning, drain the nuts and rinse them a couple of times.   Put some "Breakfast in the Raw" in your cereal bowl and add your nuts and choice of fruit.  Add extra milk if desired.  

This is a nutrient-dense, healthy breakfast that is a great way to start your day!
