2 Minutes Trail Nuts Mix (Paleo)

This is really easy and quick to make trail nuts mix!  No baking required.  

You can modify the recipe to your own preference.  I used these ingredients because it was what I had in my pantry.  I love to grab a handful of that and snack on these or a handful of that in a bowl and add non-dairy milk to it like a cereal.  Sooo gooood!  My son really enjoys snacking on these.

So quick and easy to make these in 2 minutes!  More or less!

What you need:

~1/2 cup of raw walnuts

~1/2 cup of raw pecans

~1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips (above 63% cacao)

~1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut chips or flakes

~dash of pink salt or sea salt

~8 drops of coconut stevia liquid (or 1 TBS of warm honey)

~dash of cinnamon

~dash of pumpkin pie spice

~pinch of grounded ginger

~4 dried medjool dates, chopped

Direction:

A large bowl, add in first 4 ingredients (see picture below) and mix well.  Then add a bit of sea salt (a dash or pinch of that).  Mix well, taste to see if that needs some more salt or not.  Then add 8 drops of coconut (or any flavor of your choice) stevia liquid and quickly stir to coat the nuts mix really well.  (If you do not have any stevia liquid, you can use 1 TBS of honey, but warm it first and then add to the bowl and quickly stir to coat nuts mix well.) Add the reset of spices to the bowl and mix well.  Finally, add in the chopped medjool dates and mix well.  Then you have the trail nuts mix.  You can snack on these or add non-dairy milk to it if you want to eat some cereal.  (I use 1/2 cup of that nuts mix to my cereal bowl and add some almond milk to it.  Soo goooood!!)

Enjoy!

My Paleo cereal!  Yum!

Protein "Oatless" Oatmeal

What is "Oatless" Oatmeal?  Means an oatmeal without oats!  Yes, you read that right!  This is a Paleo breakfast but since I added some whey protein isolate powder to this so it is a Primal breakfast.  You can make it Paleo omitting whey protein powder.  Just add honey or maple syrup to it to sweeten the oatless oatmeal.  

What you need to make oatless oat.

~1/2 cup raw walnuts

~1/2 cup raw pecans

Direction:
Nuts in the food processor and blend until they become finely chopped.  See the picture below.

What you need to prepare oatless oatmeal:

~1/2 cup of non-dairy milk, any flavor (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)

~oatless oats (the nuts from the food processor)

~1/2 cup of egg whites

~2 TBS of chia seed

Direction:

Pour 1/2 cup of non dairy milk into a small sauce pot.  Heat it at medium-high until it comes to boiling, quickly, turn the heat down to medium-lowAdd 1/4 cup of oatless oats (nuts) to the non dairy milk slowly and stir at the same time.  Add the remaining of the oatless oats (nuts) and stir. Turn off the heat and then add 1/2 cup of egg whites to the oatless oat mixture and stir quickly to prevent scrambled eggs.   Then add 2 TBS of chia seed and stir.  Then you have the oatless oatmeal!

Read below for more direction.

What you need to flavor the oatless oatmeal the Primal way:

~12 drops of liquid vanilla cream stevia

~1 scoop of whey protein isolate (I used Banana Cream Isopure)

~sprinkle of unsweetened coconut chips or flakes

~1/4 cup of thawed or fresh blueberries

~dash of cinnamon and nutmeg

The Paleo  Alternative way

~omit whey protein isolate

~add a drizzle of raw honey or maple syrup to sweeten the oatless oatmeal

Direction:

Add a scoop of whey protein isolate into sauce pot with the oatless oatmeal mixture and stir until well incorporated.  12 drops of vanilla cream stevia liquid and mix well again.

Scoop 1/2 cup of oatless oatmeal into your serving bowl.  Top with dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut chips or flakes.  Lastly, add 1/4 cup of blueberries.  

Save the remaining for your family or save some for the leftovers.  I plan to save some for breakfast tomorrow morning so I don't have to cook or clean up.  Or I could eat that for lunch again.  However way you want to save your leftovers.

Enjoy!
