Raw Oat biscuits

In commemoration of our fallen diggers, a raw version of the traditional Anzac biscuit, packed with nutrition and so easy to make

1 cup organic raw oats
1 teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
1/2 cup firmly packed organic pitted Medjool dates
1/2 cup organic sultanas
Favorite topping such as chopped, nuts, coconut (optional).
Combine the oats and cinnamon in the food processor and process into small pieces. Add the dates and process to mix well. Add the sultanas and your favorite topping and pulse to mix.

Press about 3 tablespoons of the dough into cookie cutters on a plate lined with baking paper, or roll the dough into ball and flatten.

You can add a tiny bit of molasses for some anzac flavour

Lets get juicy

Juicing is such a fantastic way to get a dose of pure fresh vitamins with a compliment of delicious taste.
Whatever combinations work for you is fine, but try to get your dosage of vegetables in as well as some fruits to sweeten the mix.

A great blend that I love is Carrot, ginger, apple and carrot. Classic but delicious.

Juice
3 carrots
1 apple
small knob of ginger
and whole beetroot

Enjoy as soon as possible after juicing to prevent nutrient loss and oxidation
