oh so nifty: Raw

This morning I perused my bookcase looking for a book to flip through while watching Sage play with his favorite toys and things he likes to think are toys. I landed on The Balanced Plate by The Balanced Plate by Renée Loux It's been a while sine I've picked it up, and I had forgot what a great book it is. Her book is filled not only with great recipes, but lots of good information on food in general. She gets into the benefits of whole food and why eating organic is so important. One of my favorite parts of this book is the in depth look at the kitchen and everything in it, from spices to composting and even how to clean your kitchen naturally. Then after all that you get into all of her amazing recipes!

I don't think you could go wrong with this book, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to better their eating or even just their life. Which is why I am sharing it with you today, just because I think you should know about it! I linked it up to Amazon so you can order it now if you want, or go find it at your local bookstore, if you are lucky enough to have one near you still.

I am usually an oats for breakfast kinda girl, but we have been trying to eat more raw food lately, so we've been switching things up! This has become my new favorite and it's so easy, I had to share!

This seriously only takes like three minutes and it's delicious! You kind of feel like you're being bad and eating dessert for breakfast, but it's all good for you!
All you need is:

*fruit- today I used strawberries, blueberries and apples. Use what you like {or have in your kitchen}
*coconut milk- I'm sure you could use another kind of milk, but THIS is delicious and good for you!
*cinnamon- tasty and great for you! It's shown to lower cholesterol and helps stabilize blood sugar!
*flax seed{freshly ground}- High in Omega-3's and is a great cleansing food!
