The New Oatmeal

Cinnamon Apple Chiameal

There are three parts to this meal, so it looks complicated, but it's really not. You can make this in about the same amount of time as real cooked oatmeal, if you have hemp milks already made (milks is so much more fun to say than milk singular).

If you don't have the hemp milk, then you can make this in the same amount of time as it would take you to make cooked oatmeal and milk a cow (or hempseed).



If you don't have hemp milk you can leave it out and it is still yummy.

Here are the directions:

  • First, make the AppleSauceyLiquid in a blender.
  • Pour this over 2 tablespoons of chia in a bowl.
  • Put it in the fridge and let it sit for about ten minutes to overnight if possible. The longer it sits, the softer and more oatmealish it gets.
  • Deck it out with flava.


When you eat it in the morning, pour that hemp milks right over it and stir. Then get ready for a big day on the farm.


AppleSauceyLiquid

Basic:
one apple
cinnamon
ginger
lemon
vanilla
pinch of salt (optional)
1/2 cup water or so

Optional Additionals:
honey or agave (try it without this, you might be surprised)
lecithin
mesquite
green powder like VitaMineral Greens or Greener Grasses
cardamom

Hemp Milks

2 T hemp seeds
2 cups water
2 T lecithin
pinch of salt
1 t vanilla
sweetener to taste

Blend the hemp seeds with one cup of water until very smooth. Strain this, rinse out the blender, and pour the cup of hemp milk back in. Put the rest of the water and everything else in and blend it to combine.

That's your hemp milks. I usually double this recipe and use the milk in tea, smoothies, or sippin from the bottle.

I think this is so much easier to make than other nut milks because you don't have to plan ahead and soak nuts. You are also getting an amazing dose of magnesium, essential fatty acids, and an array of minerals. Hemp is the shit.
