DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE
SERVES: 1
This is a nice “comforting” breakfast that’s not too heavy but not as light as fresh fruit or a smoothie – i.e. perfect for autumn, winter and slightly chillier starts to the day.
EQUIPMENT
Blender
INGREDIENTS
Mixed dried fruit of your choice (pre-soaked in water is best, but if you want to make this in a hurry then pre-soaking is not absolutely necessary)
1 cup almonds (or 1 Tablespoon almond butter)
2 cups pure water
DIRECTIONS
-
Place your dried fruits into a bowl. If they are pre-soaked so much the better.
-
Prepare your almond milk (it will take just 1 minute if using almond butter, and just 3 minutes if starting from scratch) by blending your almonds with water and straining using a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
-
Pour on the almond milk for a deliciously filling and satisfying breakfast. Truly yummy!
Raw Coach Top Tips:
-
Always be careful when buying dried fruits. Ideally you want them with nothing extra added, especially not sulphur dioxide (E220).
-
Don’t limit yourself in what you could add to this dish. Try topping with cinnamon powder, coconut flakes or ground nuts and seeds. Or try the recipe with a different nut milk.
-
Or keep things really simple and just use one type of dried fruit – it doesn’t have to be mixed…
