Day 6

I am losing my battle with the caffeine. On a positive note, at least I have stayed totally away from soda on my raw days. Tea is certainly healthier than Coke and previously I was drinking both. I had tea with breakfast again. This morning I rinsed both colanders - the buckwheat and the chick peas. Tonight when it was time to rinse them I checked and my buckwheat was already ready to go. My oldest daughter and I had fun mixing it up into a big batch of Rejuvenation Granola. Some of the chick peas are just starting to sprout. It should be ready in the morning. I went ahead and rinsed them and put them back on the counter. During the day today, I soaked soft winter wheat. I rinsed that off tonight and put it into the colander that had previously been holding the buckwheat. Lynn, you commented that this seems like a lot of work. It only takes a few minutes each morning and evening. It's just a matter of planning. The Rejuvenation Granola is now "baking" in the dehydrator and will be all ready for a yummy breakfast in the morning.

Breakfast: Strawberry Banana Oat Porridge
Lunch: Celery sticks with almond butter in them, apple, tangerine, milk
Dinner: Sprouted tortillas with almond hummus and corn tabouli (So yummy! It was like being in a gourmet Middle Eastern restaurant!)

Today's Recipe: Rejuvenation Granola

14-16 Cups sprouted buckwheat groats
3/4 Cup honey
3/4 Cup olive oil
1 coffee grinder's worth of ground flax seeds
2 coffee grinder's worth of ground white sesame seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup shredded coconut
Then have fun tossing in whatever seeds, nuts, or dried fruit you want. I went with pumpkin seeds, pecans, dates, and papaya tonight.

Mix all together and then spread on 4 greased dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate overnight at 105 degrees. Serve with milk or a dairy alternative. I like it with our raw cow milk.
