2012 Raw Foods Challenge, Day 4

raw oatmealDay four started with oatmeal. Soaked oats are not at all like cooked oatmeal that's cold. When you eat cooked oatmeal when it's cold, it's usually a solid lump. Raw soaked oatmeal's texture is much more like hot oatmeal. But you need to plan ahead on this one for it to turn out right.



Ingredients:

1/4 cup of oatmeal
1/2 cup of water
dash of cinnamon
raw honey to taste
fresh or dried berries


1 day before you want to eat it, mix the oatmeal, water and cinnamon. When blended, put into the fridge. Give it a stir once or twice over the next 24 hours. The next morning add the berries & eat!


For lunch I had almonds, clementines, honeycomb, and cheese.
And for dinner I made a salad:


Salad with Lemon Cashew DressingIngredients:
about 2 cups of spinach
lemon-cashew dressing (See: the "pasta sauce" recipe from Day 3's dinner)
handful of raspberries
handful of blueberries
carrot
grape tomatoes


Toss everything together & coat with the lemon-cashew dressing.
