BREAKFAST
TESTER’S COMMENTS
To my great surprise, this is delicious even without the fresh fruit! What’s more—and better—fully frozen, the “yogurt” (actually the processed cashews) makes a good substitute for ice cream. Beware: Like me, you may have a new addiction!

2 |
cups raw cashews, soaked in water to cover overnight or for 6 to 8 hours, drained |
6 |
tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
½ |
teaspoon sea salt |
½ |
cup ground chia seeds |
2 |
cups blackberries |
2 |
cups blueberries |
2 |
cups raspberries |
2 |
cups sliced strawberries |
2 |
cups sliced nectarines |
½ |
cup date paste (see below) |
Combine cashews, lemon juice, sea salt, chia seeds, and 4 cups water in a blender or food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to covered container and refrigerate until ice cold. (Put into freezer for quicker chill time.) This is the “yogurt.”
In a glass jar or bowl with lid, layer “yogurt,” fruit, and date paste, alternately. For a sweeter combination, add more date paste with each layer. Top with “yogurt” and cover. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or until ice cold. Mixture thickens as it chills.
Enjoy this luscious indulgence of rich, creamy, and wholesome goodness. The raw nourishment of nut, seed, and refreshing fruit provides some of the core elements for daily wellness. A great breakfast treat offering vitality throughout the day . . . delicious!

Soak six pitted dates in water to cover in a jar until they are very soft (best done the day before). Then, “mash” the dates in the water against the side of the jar with a teaspoon.
