1 shredded apple
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon almonds or sunflower seeds
Sprinkle cinnamon
1 tablespoon buckwheat groats (optional)
1/3 cup cashew milk (optional) or 1/3 cup water (mandatory)
Directions
1. Shred your apple using a hand shredder. (If making only one or two bowls, I use a mandoline slicer with the shredder attachment. If making this for many people, probably easiest to shred in a food processor.)
2. Place shredded apple in bowl, and top with remaining ingredients.
3. Top with the cashew milk (best) or alternatively use water.
4. Stir vigourously. Within a couple of minutes the chia seeds and shredded coconut will absorb the liqid and you will have a delicious, ready to eat raw breakfast cereal.
Check out my video below to see me make this in person :)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
This recipe is very similar to my raw breakfast cereal recipe; however, there are a couple of key differences - especially the addition of the coconut and the shredding of the apple.
In fact, it is the shredded apple that makes up the recipe - and gives it a stellar texture!
This recipe is for one person.

Can I use almond milk instead of cashew milk? I know I can, but is it as good and does the almond milk soak up the chia seeds as well?

Hi Sandy, yes you can use any type of nut milk - they will all work the same :)

Yummy! I used Steel Cut Oats since that's what I had. No coconut on hand, so substituted one ring of pineapple for two servings. Hubby liked it, too! This will be made again and again. Thanks so much!

Could I substitute the almond milk with skim milk instead, would that affect the recipe at all? :)
Amazing site, your recipes are absolutely brilliant, and completely fuss-free to boot!

Hi Anu, dairy milk isn't raw, but really you could use any time of "milk" on top - just like any breakfast cereal the choice of milk is yours and it won't really affect the recipe much. good question

I had this for a snack last night (with almond milk) & again for breakfast this morning (with water & added 1 tbsp of ground flax seed for my daily dose of Omega 3). This is SO GOOD. After I got settled at work, I emailed the recipe to my husband, my mom, my mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law & about 6 people at work. :) It's light & crunchy & satisfying & just down-right yummy. Thanks for the great recipe! I can't wait to try it with dried cranberries & dried blueberries and...

Hi Summer! You are so cute with your emailing lol. Glad you liked! It's a really handy recipe, and I like to switch it up a bit every time so that it doesn't get boring. I had it this morning myself!

Hello Rawtarian! Thank you for this recipe. I am not vegan but I am trying to incorporate more raw food into my diet. I had the modified version of this recipe this morning and it was delish! I have posted the recipe below:
1 shredded apple; 1 tablespoon flax seeds; 1 tablespoon raisins; I tablespoon pumpkin seeds; 1 tablespoon almonds; Sprinkle of cinnamon & 1/3 cup soy milk (This is all I had on hand :-( )
This will become a staple as it it delicious and quick to make. I will try again with homemade almond milk.
Thanks again for the recipe,
Tara

Hi Tara, those substitutions sound great!
I love it too, and, as you mentioned, you can switch it up a bit depending on what you have on hand - this keeps it interesting too!

This morning I made this recipe and IT.WAS.AMAZING!!! I've never had anything like this and it was SO GOOD! I used a red delicious and cherry craisins. Didn't have coconut but did add 2T of sliced almonds for that crunch you were talking about. I'm so surprised by how much I loved this AND by how naturally sweet it was! Oh, and this was also the first time I had chia seeds! NEW DAY for me all around. Oh, AND I was full til lunch!!!!

I am just researching raw food as I am trying to renew my health and will be traveling for Memorial Day weekend. This is the perfect breakfast to pack and take to the beach to fuel my day. This was my first raw recipe and I must say it is delicious and I am looking forward to trying more. I'm glad I found this site!
