sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice
I have been craving oatmeal lately..so i made this smoothie. It was so delicious, when my husband had a taste, he asked me to make him one ;) You can make your own almond milk but I am a beginner so just used unsweetened almond milk (I know, maybe not totally raw but what I had on hand). You can even add ginger for a “ginger bready” taste. The almond butter made it really thick and I had to add a bit of water to thin it out. It could have been eaten with a spoon as a raw oatmeal but I made it into a smoothie since I had to leave the house. It was simply delicious!!
I am thinking you can probably thicken this into a “batter” and make them into oatmeal cookies ;)
1/2 cup raw oats , soaked
1 cup almond milk- unsweetened
1 tbsp raw almond butter
1 ripe banana
2 medjol dates, soaked
handful raisins
cinnamon- approx 1 tsp
nutmeg
ginger (optional)
Soak oats and dates for a few hours for easier digestibility. Combine all ingredients in blender until creamy. If too thick, add water or almond milk. Top with more cinnamon.
Enjoy! ;)

This recipe has turned out to me one of my favorite. It's delicious and easy to make. Like most raw recipes, I just have to remember to give myself enough time to soak the oatmeal and dates (and I soak the raisins, too). Being that I have this drink almost everyday, I just wanted to come back and say thank you for the recipe. Anyone who loves oatmeal is sure to love this recipe.
thanks rawsue!

This sounds good.
actually...i THOUGHT i was using raw oats, but i wasn't.....so mine weren't but i think others have said they got raw oats on line. i'll do a check. i am new to raw so i often think of "raw" as uncooked, i.e. "raw oats" as opposed to cooking and making oatmeal, but i am now learning the process which oats and other grains go through, etc..but still better than eating a cholesterol fest bfast of bacon, eggs, and pancakes ;)
where do you get the raw oats from?
Liquid Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!! Just what I need to start my day, thanks, bet my 4 y.o. son would love this too.
i mean add a little less ;)
hehehe...i had to eat a little less almond butter btw because it got too thick and i had to add more liquid.
i have a smoothie every morning for breakfast so i'll be sure to make this one. i always include oats in my smoothie, but never as the star. i'm excited now haha
yes...it was yummy! ;)
I make this a lot...it's great!
This sounds awesome! I'm going to pick up some raw oats tomorrow. Yeah!
