Delicious Gourmet Raw Oatmeal! Just Say Yes~

 

 

 

This raw oatmeal recipe easy, healthy too! Serve with fresh fruit and nuts if you like. I just finished my 100% raw vegan month. I finished a bit early. That’s another matter but anyway, i am still eating 70% raw and %30 cooked foods. Balance is the key to great health. Which brings me to why i’m eating raw oatmeal. I’m sure someone is wondering:-) It actually tastes very good. 

The market has been out of raw ‘OAT GROATS‘ for several weeks. I stopped by a store i rarely go to. They had them. You can always call ahead. Make sure they don’t think you’re looking for steel cut, rolled or oat bran. Tell this its pieces of Oats that are in their natural state. Pieces of natural oats are about the size of a grain of rice. You can order Oats online too. If you find a good site let me know. typically you can find them for about $1.99 per pound. Since the market was out for so long i bought 3/ 3 lbs bags of oat groats. Yes, they are that good to me. Wait until you hear about the nutritional facts on them. They are perfect for folks that use their brains all the time. As a writer and consultant, oats area yummy holistic tonic for my nervous system.
