BERRIES WITH MILK

raw • 2 cups

THIS HAS SERVED AS MY DINNER on many a night when my fridge was empty or I was just too tired to prepare a real meal. I don’t say this in a holier-than-thou “I’m SO CRAZY I eat SO healthy I just CAN’T HELP IT TEE-HEE” kind of way, either—it’s often followed up with a giant bowl of popcorn and/or gluten-free beers aplenty. But you can make this your default “anytime recipe” simply by making sure you always have frozen berries on hand. I buy about ten packages every couple of weeks, which apparently is just enough to make the checkout lady look over her glasses to ask just what I plan to do with all those berries.

Active time: 5 minutes

2 cups frozen blueberries or raspberries

½ cup almond milk, or more if needed

¼ teaspoon stevia, or 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Put the berries into a bowl. Cover with almond milk and optional sweetener, then eat like a bowl of cereal.
