Here’s a delicious recipe that promotes digestion and is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties. Caroline came across it in Adina Niemerow’s book “Super Cleanse.” It’s easy to make and keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week. It’s an alternative to store bought cereals that usually contain wheat and sugar (yes, evaporated cane juice is still sugar).

Apple/Almond Breakfast Porridge

• ¼ cup Almonds (soaked overnight and drained)
• 2 Cored, and chopped green apples
• 2 Chopped figs
• juice of half a fresh lemon
• ¼ tsp Peeled, and finely minced ginger
• 1 tbsp Flax ground seeds

Blend the first 5 ingredients in a food processor; scoop out into a serving bowl and sprinkle with ground flax seeds.

Option: add almond milk or fresh yogurt

You can also adjust ingredient amounts according to your taste.
