OATMEAL
My oatmeal recipe has been removed from this website. Several oat producers have confirmed that steel cut oats and Scottish oats aren’t raw.  After oats are hulled, they are heated to 200 degrees F for an hour or more to stabilize enzyme action, otherwise they go rancid within a few days.   Steel cut oats and Scottish oats are cut after this heating process.  For rolled oats, the stabilized oats are steamed, then rolled.

ORANGE BANANA GREEN SMOOTHIE

SASSY SPREAD

SCRUMPTIOUS SMOOTHIES

Smoothies are a quick and easy way to enjoy raw vegan foods. Their nutrients are easily absorbed and the body doesn’t use a lot of energy for digestion. If a Smoothie consists of approximately 60% fruits and 40% greens, it won’t taste ‘green’ and will provide minerals and vitamins your body needs. You might start by adding one or two leaves of a mild green (e.g. romaine lettuce or spinach) to a fruit Smoothie.  When using strong-flavoured greens, or lots of leafy greens, adding lemon juice makes the Smoothie more palatable, plus it’s alkalizing to our body.  Smoothies taste best and are most nutritious when fresh from the blender. To help preserve freshness for several hours, add ice after blending, and/or lemon juice (a natural preservative). Try to vary what you put in smoothies because each food contains different nutrients.  Here are some foods you can add:

FRUITS: apple, apricot, banana, berries, coconut, cucumber, currant, date, fig, goji berries, grape, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mango, melon, nectarine, orange, papaya, peach, pear, pineapple, plum, pomegranate, prune, raisin, rhubarb

GREENS: beet greens, carrot tops, celery, chard, edible weeds (e.g. chickweed, dandelion, lambsquarters, stinging nettle), fennel, grape leaves, kale, lettuce (e.g. romaine, green or red leaf), mint, mixed greens, parsley, sorrel, spinach, sprouts

ADDITIONAL NUTRIENTS & FLAVOURS:  allspice, almond, avocado, cinnamon, clove, flax seeds, ginger, hemp seeds, nutmeg, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds
