Apple Jack's Porridge


Apple Jack's Porridge

Ingredients: 
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 6 dates, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 4 tablespoons creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts



Directions:  
  1. Blend all ingredients, except the walnuts, in a blender until smooth.
  2. If you are eating it right away, place in saucepan and heat over medium-low and stir until warm. Top with walnuts to serve.
  3. If you are making this the night before, transfer to individual serving containers and top with walnuts. Refrigerate. When ready to eat, just microwave on high for 1-1 ½ minutes.


Why I love it:

  • Gluten-free
  • Vegan
  • Raw
  • Paleo
  • Zero Trans Fat




Samantha's Notes:

  • Since I am usually pressed for time, I rarely ever peel the apples. They blend just fine without peeling!
  • This recipe makes enough for 4 servings for me. I divide this into 4- 1 cup Ziploc bowls and store them in the refrigerator.
  • This recipe takes some time to create but it is worth it since I am pressed for time in the mornings. All I have to do is microwave one serving and it's ready in less than 2 minutes!

  1. This porridge looks very appetizing but what are the nutritional benefits of the chia seeds?
