I touched on my breakfast recipe in my post My Diet – Part Two. Here is the whole thing. I have additional information at the bottom. Please read the notes.
Ingredients – one serving
- 1/2 Cup of Rolled Oats
- 1 Tablespoon of Quinoa
- 1 Tablespoon of Amaranth
- 1 1/2 Half Cups of Frozen mixed berries
- 1 Tablespoon of Goji berries
- 1 Pinch of Clove Powder
- 1 Pinch of Cardamom Powder
- 1 Tsp of Cinnamon Powder
- 1 Tsp of Ginger Powder
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil
- 10 Soaked Overnight Almonds
- 1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds
- 5 Tablespoons of Flax Seeds
- 3 1/3 Cups of Water
Boil 1 1/3 cups of water in a small pot. Once boiled, add the Quinoa and Amaranth. Turn the heat to low. When the Amaranth gets shiny or drops to the bottom of the pot (about 5 minutes), add the rolled oats. Remove the almond skins, add to pot and stir. Cooked when water is gone.
In a separate pot, add the goji berries, mixed berries, spices and remaining 2 cups of water. Stir the mixture every couple of minutes to have the spices well mixed and cook (enhances flavor). Bring to a boil. Turn off when goji berries look fluffy and blueberries start to lose color.
Add the chia and flax seeds to a coffee grinder and grind for about 15 seconds until you have a smooth powder. Dump the powder into a large eating bowl. Add the coconut oil.
Add the berry mixture into the bowl with the flax mixture. Mix together and let it sit for 2 minutes to let the chia and flax absorb some of the berry mixture water.
Lastly, add the cooked oatmeal mixture. Breakfast is served!
A couple of notes.
I use frozen berries because they are less expensive than fresh ones. Either is good. Mixed berries sometimes have a lot of strawberries in them, which I try and keep to a minimum (trying to keep my body balanced, low on acid foods, it’s an Ayurvedic/Chinese medicine thing).
Sometimes, I add or just use mini wild blueberries (from Canada, usually). They are slightly different in nutrition. I’ve heard they also remove things like radiation. I especially like to have them after getting scanned.
As you saw, I add coconut oil to my breakfast. It is a healthy fat, antibacterial, antimicrobial. Everyone needs healthy fats to their diet. This is one place where I get part of mine, which is the reason it’s in there. If you don’t need it or want it, don’t add it. Don’t substitute poor quality other oils.
Flax! I have a lot of it here in my breakfast, as you can see. It’s really amazing stuff. It is so good for you on so many different levels. That being said, there are cases where this level of flax is too much. For instance, people who have breast cancer. One tablespoon max of freshly ground flax can stabilize and bind excess estrogen, beyond that, it can potentially cause undesirable consequences. Please get educated about your condition or ask your doctor. If in doubt, just use a tablespoon or two.
I don’t use sweetener of any kind. I do believe that added sugar fuels cancer growth, among other things. My taste buds have adapted to a very low sugar diet (which is quite amazing, but that’s a whole other story). If you need some sweetener, try add some raisins.
If you are having trouble with your appetite, try and add more water. I find that watery food is easier to intake than thicker food.
I hope you give it a try and like it. If you want, leave a comment about any tweaks in the recipe you enjoy 😊.
