Banana Nut Porridge

Tweet

This is a recipe that is included in the 21 Day Detox Diet Manual that we received and are supposed to follow. There are a bunch of recipes at the end for us to try and this was one of the breakfast ones. I kind of glossed over it because it just sounded weird but everyone else in the group was really excited about it and made it right away. Then they all raved about it so I knew I'd have to get the ingredients to make it when I did my next shopping trip. . . . . . and here we are. You soak cashews, almonds, and pecans overnight in a bowl of water. Then you blend them up with a banana, coconut milk, and some cinnamon. Voila. Microwave a small portion for 40 seconds to a minute and there is your grain-free, Whole 30-approved breakfast. I have to say that it actually was really pretty good. It also was very filling which makes sense because it is basically all nuts. The texture kept going back and forth for me between strange and "okay, this is like oatmeal". I'll happily eat the rest of what I made and will definitely make it again and again. I get tired of eating eggs for breakfast all the time. Note: if you decide to try this recipe (and you should!), reduce the amount of coconut milk by half. If you use the full amount it will be way too soupy.
