When I first went raw, I had a lot of raw granola. I interchanged the ingredients, but these are the ingredients I would use:

sprouted quinua
soaked nuts/seeds
raisins/other dried fruits
goji berries
fresh fruits like strawberries and blueberries
raw oats
soaked oat groats

I would pour honey or agave on top of it, then I would pour nut milk on top of that, with a sprinkle of sea salt. It was soo good.

Now, in the morning I have a fresh veggie/fruit juice and I follow that with a green smoothie.

Depends on your quantities really. I often skip breakfast, but If I eat it, I like either a few honeydew melons, a whole watermelon, or 12-15 peaches/nectarines, or a few pints of berries, or 6 mangoes. Or a banana mango smoothie Ive been exercising lots. (bear in mind my banana smoothies have 16 bananas in (12-13 if mangoes are thrown in). Thats what I call hearty :o)

I think flax bagels and raw cheese are filling and a lot easier to make than you'd think with a dehydrator. If you don't have one you can make a flax pancake with blueberries, cinnamon, almond butter and a bananna + agave or stevia. Fenugreek seeds add a maple flavor for fun.

I love dehydrated eggplant as a pseudo bacon. I also made something like scrambled eggs with yellow squash and what ever else you like- like spinach, peppers, almond butter, sesame, etc. Add a little tumeric or curry if you like that flavor. Blend in a cuisinart. Good luck!

when you dehydrate the eggplant - do you have them "clean" or do you marinate or spice them?

Hi Solla. I have a spray bottle that has water and a few tablespoons of oil in it and I mist them. You could dip them in oil but I found that they are pretty oily this way. I have an asian spice I like to use that is ginger, garlic, red pepper, sea salt and sesame seeds. Just plain salt and black pepper are good too with a little olive oil. Macadamia nut oil is great to use and sesame oil. I just use a potato peeler to slice- that's the easiest. If you get them really crispy they will last a long time in a glass canning jar at room temp- I've eaten them a couple months later no problem.

After a good workout I prefer to blend about 10 delicious, very ripe (with brown spots), organic bananas in water or coconut water....this is a pure and simple Mono meal.

IF you are in the tropics or have access to tropical fruit (i am in Indo now)....then eat 4 lbs of Rambutans OR 6lbs of Mangosteens......

Oh lucky you Darrick with the mangosteens...

1.5litres of water first up
Depending on whats in season after a good sweat session I will have one of the following....
-1/2 a large melon
-10+ banana & celery smoothie
-3 blended good sized cantaloupes blended
-A couple of large pawpaws..
-6-8 mangoes
I have a few guidelines I stick to for breakfast
-Always 1.5litres of water before food & straight after exercise
-Some sort of sweat session before food (if long session maybe something small first)
-high water content sweet fruits/smoothies
-mono meals or properly combined
-raw ofcourse!
-as much as I want

Avoid dehydrating foods, miscombined meals as hydration first thing in the morning should be the goal.

If I don't desire a smoothie I will have buckwheaties with soaked oats and maybe a nut milk that's been thickened with bananas poured over them.

You need to pack in some carbos. Suggest a large smoothie of 1 bunch bananas plus any berries you like.

Add some flax seed powder or half an avo for additional fat and protein.

Quantities* of fruit do it for me. Usually a cantaloupe or a honeydew, followed up maybe half an hour later by a smoothie with 3 bananas, some citrus juice if possible (bad food combo if you're into food combining, but works for me), and whatever interesting fruits are in season, usually including berries if possible. Usually with 4.5 oz spinach added to the blender. Often I split the smoothie - 1/2 at around 6:30 am, 1/2 at around 10 AM.

This actually gives me terrific energy for exercising. All those fast acting fruit carbs.

*I'm not up to Adam, Darrick or Durianrider quantities! YMMV
