Day 10

Breakfast: 1 organic banana

Lunch: homemade organic cashew/fig 'cereal' with homemade almond milk,

Dinner: cucumber/celery/carrot/orange juice (all organic except orange), organic banana, smoothie (banana, green apple, aloe, dulse flakes, almond milk)

Today, I made raw granola cereal, and it was SO GOOD. All I did was put my soaked cashews and dried figs (about 50/50) into my food processor, add a pinch of ground cinnamon and sea salt, and then process. The combination of sweet from the figs and the saltiness from the sea salt made it taste like trail mix, and the nutty cashew taste added a great texture and flavor. It actually tasted better on its own than with the almond milk. My almond milk is so full of almond pulp (because I have no cheese bag/nut milk bag to strain it out) it's actually more of an almond yogurt. It goes great in smoothies, but it's not really a good milk substitute. I think I will blend up what I have left of it with some water, and maybe add in some more raw honey or sea salt to make it taste better, although I think the main probablem is the texture. Live and learn!

Anyway, I am thrilled with how my first 'cereal' came out. I have realized that, without even trying, I have made quite a number of raw food recipes that imitate normal recipes. So far I have learned how to make: salads, smoothies, juices, cereal, milk, dips, cookies, ice cream. I can nearly open my own raw restaurant!
