Name: Delicious No-Oats Oatmeal
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cup hemp hearts; 1/4 cups chia seeds; 1/4 cup sesame seeds; 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds; 1 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional); 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 - 1 1/2 cup milk of choice; 1 shredded carrot (about 1/2 cup); 2 - 3 tablespoons coconut; 2 - 3 tablespoons walnuts (chopped); 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 1 large lemon); 1/2 cup blueberries (can use from frozen); 2 - 3 tablespoons chopped nuts ((pecans, almond, walnut)); 1/2 green apple (chopped); 2 - 3 tablespoons walnuts (chopped); 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Granted it’s not oatmeal but what else to call it? Creamy and satisfying, nutrient-dense and RESTART friendly, this paleo cereal made itself a permanent part of my breakfast rotation. Add “cake-inspired” toppings for visual delight, gratifying contrast of texture and increased nutrient-density.

Carrot Cake
Lemon Blueberry
Apple Pie

What other combinations could you try? Isn’t it a whole new spin on breakfast?!

Lassi is a yogurt-based milkshake or smoothie Indian style. They come in all kinds of flavors, but I absolutely adore mango lassis. And I adore cardamom.

Sprinkle granola or chopped nuts on top for the contrast of the crunch.

This is an outrageously delicious way to start the day. It’s like dessert for breakfast!

Jump start a second breakfast by making a double batch of the oats, cardamom and milk. The next day I mix it with shredded carrot or apple, or both. YUM!

Or mix in any summer fruit (peach, plum, berries). YUM!
