A Great Breakfast Alternative
Ingredients:
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup steel cut oats
Place ingredients in a bowl and fill with water 1 inch above seeds and grains, stir and rinse well in a colander. Return to the bowl and add water to within 1 inch above seeds and let soak overnight. This allows the seeds to begin to germinate.
Next day drain and rinse in a colander. Remove ½ cup for today’s use and put the rest in the refrigerator with no water.
Place your sprouted seed and grain mixture in a bowl, add fresh fruit. (I use 1 diced apple and a mixture of berries). To eat cold, use coconut milk or some kind of seed or nut milk you enjoy. Obviously, we don’t want to use a form of milk we are allergic to. I also encourage people to avoid cow’s milk for many reasons i.e. hormones, processing etc. For hot cereal replace milk with hot water.
I personally enjoy adding 1 scoop of Biotics NitroGreens. NitroGreens is loaded with alkalizing factors, antioxidants and chlorophyll.
Mix thoroughly and enjoy.
For further use, take seed and grain mixture from the refrigerator and re-rinse before using. It’s generally best not to make more than a couple of day’s worth.
Other raw seeds and nuts can be substituted according to taste and desired nutrients. See below for a list of calories, carbohydrates, protein and fiber counts for the seeds I like to use.
