Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

Nuts and seeds

  • 1 cup sliced almonds

Fruits

  • 1 lemon zest and juice

Sweeteners

  • ¼ cup honey substitute with vegan sweetener for vegan option

Grains

  • 1 ¼ cups quick cooking oats use large for more texture, gluten-free if necessary

Dried fruits

  • ½ cup dried blueberries

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a food processor, process almonds, lemon zest, juice and honey until smooth (this can take a few minutes).
  • Add in half of the oats and process again until smooth.
  • Move mixture to a bowl and stir in remaining oats and blueberries. Stir until combined -- you may need to use your hands as they can be pretty sticky!
  • Store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.

Optional Protein Boost

  • To mix things up and add more protein, trying swapping ¼ cup of the oats for chia seeds, hemp seeds or ground flax.

Notes

VEGAN and PALEO: substitute the honey with a vegan liquid sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar. I chose honey because we always have it and it has a neutral flavor, unlike maple syrup.
