Eating raw does not have to mean expensive superfood powders. These five breakfasts each come in under three dollars a serving using regular grocery-store produce.
- Banana oat-free “porridge”: blend a frozen banana with a spoon of almond butter and cinnamon, then top with grated apple.
- Green smoothie: spinach, a frozen banana, half a cup of pineapple and water. Add a spoon of flax for staying power.
- Apple nachos: thin apple slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, sunflower seeds and raisins.
- Overnight chia: the base from my three ways post costs about 80 cents.
- Citrus and date bowl: segmented oranges, chopped dates, mint and a pinch of salt.
The trick is buying bananas by the bunch and freezing them the moment they get spots.
