Raw Vegan Oatmeal Mix

February 6, 2015

raw vegan oatmeal mix

I begin my day with a version of this raw vegan oatmeal just about every morning. I prefer the chewy texture and flavor of raw oats compared to cooked oatmeal and this hearty mixture fortifies my morning walks and sticks with me ‘til lunchtime. The different combinations of ingredients offer plenty of variety. Honestly, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day!

When I travel I mix individual servings and seal them in plastic bags. Depending on the means of transportation, I will also pack a box of rice milk or purchase some when I arrive at my destination. This guarantees I will have a healthy breakfast regardless of where I am staying.

Raw Vegan Oatmeal Mix

Mix and match ingredients for something new each morning!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup dry old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice or allspice)
  • 2 Tbsp. ground flax seed (or chia seeds, hemp seeds or wheat germ*)
  • 1/4 cup raisins (or dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots or other dried fruit)
  • 1/2 sliced banana (or strawberries, blueberries** or 2 chopped medjool dates)
  • 1-2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts (or sliced almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkins seeds or sunflower seeds)
  • 1 cup plant milk (I prefer rice milk)

Instructions

  • Combine selection of dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add preferred amount of plant milk and enjoy!

Notes

*If you are sensitive to gluten, be sure to use gluten-free oats and avoid using wheat germ.
**I often use frozen fruit – especially frozen blueberries. Warm in microwave or set the amount needed out the night before so it's thawed by morning.

 Note: I do not include nutrition information with my recipes because I subscribe to the theories presented in the book Whole and believe we should focus on eating a variety of whole foods instead of counting calories or keeping track of individual nutrients.

      Yes! And the the fun part is trying different combinations each morning! This morning I had oats, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, medjool dates, blueberries, pumpkin spice and rice milk. Yum! Be sure to share which combo you tried and how you liked it. 🙂

    AGREED with you about nutritional information – i’ve never counted calories in my life – what’s the point if you’re eating whole, plant-based foods?! ha! got that off my chest – you’ve got a great recipe here, i like the usage of raw oats…..

      Counting calories gets old fast. Although I have noticed I need to be mindful of just how much raw oats, nuts, etc. I’m adding to my breakfast bowl. I gain weight easily – so I have to remain mindful of quality and portions… But the whole foods do tend to fill you up and leave you feeling satisfied longer – so that helps!

      I actually prefer the taste and texture of raw oats vs. cooked. (I did learn recently that rolled oats are steamed, so technically they are not completely raw.) It doesn’t hurt that it’s a time saver as well! ha ha

      Thanks for taking the time to share your comments. 🙂
