RAW After the surgery

Yesterday I had periodontal gum flap surgery on eight teeth in the roof of my mouth. What a blessing the vitamix has been! I'm able to stay raw, get in all my fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds, and only intake liquids.

I've discovered a great site that discusses the difference between alkaline and acid foods, and why the raw diet helps your body get into and stay alkaline. This is how the body gets healthy, slim and happy! The site is http://www.thebestofrawfood.com

This morning I've made the oatmeal recipe on their site:

- Raw Food Breakfast -
Oat Meal

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 apples
1 banana
1 tablespoon golden flax seed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Pure water

Directions

Put the flex seeds in the purified water and let sit overnight.

Peel the apples and cut them in smaller parts (for the blender). Peel the banana en break in parts. Rinse the flaxseeds.

Put all ingredients in a blender. This can be a hand blender or high speed blender such as vitamix. Add 1/4 cup water, just enough to let the mixture blend well. Blend all ingredients until smooth. You may want to add a little more water if it's too thick.

Tip

You make make this recipe even better by replacing the water with almond cream or fresh juice. You may also add a tablespoon of hemp seeds. My daughter likes to add (germinated) nuts and raisins. You can prepare this recipe the night before (but put the banana in there in the morning). Especially with nuts and dried fruits in it, it will only taste better!

This is my children's favorite breakfast. My 6 year old daughter has been eating this for more than years almost every morning. I like this breakfast because it has healthy ingredients that are easy to get: the fiber, good fats and protein of the flax seeds.
