Raw Banana Pancakes

Serves 1

Ingredients

1 banana
2 tablespoons coconut meal or dried coconut
cinnamon

Directions

Mash the banana with a fork in a bowl until very smooth. Add the coconut meal and some cinnamon to taste. Mix well.

Flatten the banana/coconut dough and make small pancakes of them

Leaf out in direct sunlight for about 1 hour, flip over and leaf for another hour. You may also use the dehydrator or oven. But then it will take longer to dry them.

They don't have to be dry, just on the outsides. They're so good anyway that they're usually gone before I want to serve them.

Tip

If you make them the night before, you can take them to go for breakfast in the morning.

Raw Carrot Juice

Serves 1

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots
1/2 lemon

Directions

Wash the lemon and cut most of the peel off. Juice the lemon and the carrots. Ready!

Tip

Personally, I like to scrape the carrots, because I don't like the earthy taste when I don't.

If I take this juice for breakfast, I feel so good the rest of the day. It gives me instant energy.

I also like to juice about a 1/2 bunch green leafy vegetables with the carrots for extra alkalizing minerals. Carrot greens, kale or lettuce are a good choice. Apples, celery and fennel also go well with carrot juice. If you're a beginner, start to add only one or two leafs of greens to make sure you still like it. Greens are an acquired taste and it may take some time for you to get use to.

Hemp & Berry Smoothie

Ingredients

1 banana
2 tablespoons hulled hemp seed
1 bag of frozen berries
1 cup pure water

Directions

Put all ingredients in a high speed blender. Add enough water so that all ingredients are covered. Blend well.

You may want to add a little more water if it's too thick. You may blend longer if you find it too cold.

Tip

This is such a yummy and easy breakfast recipe. This is the other breakfast my daughter loves, but we drink this for lunch too.

The hemp seeds provide good fats and super protein. Hemp seeds are the only seeds that have no enzyme inhibitor and therefore don't have to be soaked in water before eating.

If the berries are sour, you may add a few drops of (liquid) stevia to sweeten.
