Whole Grain Breakfast Cereals

Tropical Sunrise Cereal:

I love a whole grain cereal in the morning, and while I was staying at Hippocrates Health Institute last December I was turned on to Buck Wheaties.  Buck Wheaties alone are kind of bland, so  I decided to play with the recipe and give them some pizzaz.

First: Soak Raw Buckwheat Groats, Sunflower Seeds, Flax Seeds, and Sesame Seeds (6 hours will suffice).

Second: Strain off water and rinse Groats & Seeds. Mix it all together in a big bowl with some Raw Agave Nectar to your desired sweetness.

Third: Add dried cranberries, coconut flakes, and Orange Zest.

Fourth: Spread ingredients out on Teleflex sheets and dehydrate at 105 degrees Fahrenheit overnight.  If you don’t have a dehydrator you can eat them as is with your favorite nut milk.

Nutty Raisin Cereal:

Step one, two and four are the same, but in step three add Pecans or Walnuts (soaked 6 hours), raisins, and cinnamon.  You can also swap out the Agave Nectar for Maple Syrup (although it’s not a raw ingredient, it’s really yummy!).
