Tired of green smoothies every morning? Try my raw breakfast bowl, a chia-based apple cereal that has turned into one of my most popular raw breakfast recipes.

Recipe 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 liquid and you will have a delicious, ready to eat raw breakfast cereal.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian 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.

Thank you Laura for this recipe! I love it, especially with the buckwheat grouts!!! Very comforting breakfast. I did it few times already and I keep loving it. Today, I had no nut milk, so I added coconut milk and it was still delicious!

I am so glad you are enjoying it Rosemary. Coconut milk would be divine! Do you put any other chunky goodies on top? Like different dried fruits etc?

Just made this, but left the apple chopped and used some of the almond milk that we made and it was delicious! Definitely making again.

Hey, I've had trouble finding the buckwheat grouts, is this different to buckwheat kernels? I'm in Australia and couldn't find it in the health food store. Is it possible to use the kernels?

Not sure whether they are called kernels but they look like this!

hello. I noticed you did not say to sprout the buckwheat groats to make them living before you use them in the cereal. If you don't already do this, I recommend sprouting them first and then dehydrating them to make them crispy again! They can store a long time in the cupboard once dried.

I highly recommend. I just finished a 10 day juice fast. I feel great. I wasn't hungry and it really helped me break the snacking habit. (and I lost 8 pounds). I have continued with a juice a day. Check out Jason Vale. http://www.juicemaster.com/us/ He did a world wide juice fast with daily encouraging videos in January. He is going to do that again at the beginning of April.

This looks very interesting Laura. Do you recommend a specific type of apple that works well in this recipe? I prefer crisp apples. Will they work in this recipe?

I also prefer crisp apples. I generally use Gala apples (my favourite) or I also like Granny Smiths.
Yes, crisp apples are best in this recipe.
