better than oats!

[Yana]

I just whipped something up that is much closer in texture and mouth feel to cream of wheat, farina, porridge, etc. than oats, but a chocolate variety, thought I'd share:

These are all approximations as I didn't measure:

3 Tbs flax seeds (golden)
1.5 Tbs cacao nibs
1.5 Tbs carob powder
1 banana
1 persimmon (large Hachiya)
agave to taste (i used approx. 1.5 Tbs)
water (small amount for consistency possibly 1/4-1/2 C?)
salt (just a few grains for taste)
small handful goji berries
10 raisins

grind first three ingredients, add others except gojis and raisins, and process (i used my magic bullet)

mix in gojis and raisins. Stir, and eat :).

I wanted to spiralize an apple to top it off, no apple in sight :(.

I hope someone tries it!!

Yana,

This sounds fantastic. Curious what type of persimmon you used--the flat kind or the really soft ones.

Thanks Kathy! :D

I use the Hachiya, acorn shaped ones, they are my all time favorite food, from any and all categories! I never liked the flat ones, aren't as flavorful to me.

But if all you have are the flat, I am sure it would work just fine. Maybe use two, as the one i used was large, I will edit the original post to note it.

If you try it, please let me know how it goes!!

Love,

Yana

I just remembered I didn't include agave on the ingredient list, I'll edit it in
