Makes 1 quart
1 cup of crispy nuts (can have used almonds, walnuts, and a combination of both)
1 cup of raisins (or other dried fruit, cut into small pieces, such as dates or cherries)
1 cup of sunflower seeds (preferably sprouted and dehydrated)
1 cup of unsulphered, unsweetened, shredded coconut (found in bulk at most Natural Foods Stores)
1 cup of raisins (or other dried fruit, cut into small pieces, such as dates or cherries)
1 cup of sunflower seeds (preferably sprouted and dehydrated)
1 cup of unsulphered, unsweetened, shredded coconut (found in bulk at most Natural Foods Stores)
1. Chop nuts into bit-sized pieces using a food processor or simply place in a bag and pound with meat hammer.
2. Mix nuts with all other ingredients. Store in a one-quart mason jar.
Serve with diluted coconut milk or raw milk, top with sliced bananas or strawberries if desired!
Some suggested combinations:
“Raisin Bran”: Use simply 2 cups of almonds, 2 cups of raisins, omit other ingredients.
“Blueberry Morning”: Use dehydrated blueberries in place of raisins and use a combo of crispy macadamia nuts and crispy walnuts with the other ingredients.
“Praline Pecan”: Use crispy pecans for the nuts, and chopped dates for the fruit. Use coconut and sunflower seeds as well.
“Cookie Crunch”: Use my recipe for grain-free “oatmeal” cookies. Crush cookies, add carob chips or cacao nibs.
Thrifty Notes:
- I know, I know, good nuts aren’t cheap. I reccommend Costco, Trader Joe’s, or a buying club like Azure Standard for the best deals on a variety of nuts. Foraging and looking for local suppliers is a great idea too!
- For a thrifty almond, Trader Joe’s sells “Sweet Apricot Kernals” for $1.99. This is a really great deal and although they are already roasted, you can rest assured that some of the phytates are neutralized in the roasting process.
- Speaking of bulk-buying, I purchase all the essentials for this recipe in bulk for a much cheaper price!
