I made this (almost) raw porridge this morning- the whole family loved it.  The chia and hemp seeds add fiber and lots of healthy omega 3 fatty acids.

• ¼ cup chia seeds*
• 1/2 cup organic rolled oats**
• 6 dates (remove pits)
• 4 Tablespoons hemp seeds
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of nutmeg
• Pinch of cardamom
• 1 cup hemp milk
• 1 cup warm water

Optional topping: chopped fruit (whatever is seasonal)***

Blend all the ingredients, pour into bowls and top with chopped fruit.

*I soaked the chia seeds in water for about 5-minutes- you can skip the soak if you don’t have the time.

**Oats are technically not a raw food.  You can leave the oats out and the recipe is still delicious.

***I added chopped organic strawberries from the farmer’s market.

Enjoy!
