We know, our body needs to have a healthy amount of ”good” bacteria in the digestive tract. Yogurts are made using active, good bacteria. Raw Blueberry Coconut Hemp Yogurt provides the same benefits as traditional yogurt, with the added nutrition of enzyme-rich ingredients.

Raw Banana Poppy Bread

raw banana bread 4This is one of most favourite raw dish in my family. I learned about this yummy raw banana bread At Matthew Kenney Cuisine  Academy  two years ago. I am not allowed to share the original recipe, so I changed it a little to make a flavor more friendly for Japanese people 😉 Prepare this recipe the smell of Raw Banana Poppy Bread was wafting through my kitchen and all apartment, and before even to eat, all my family loved it! I love to use poppy seeds a lot, maybe because I am from Ukraine 😉

I use a sprouted oat flour in this recipe, but it’s optional. I am a big fan of sprouting and always sprout something every day! I love to watch how small “babies” come out 😉 You can order sprouted dry whole oats or flour online as well. Oats absorb moisture and also have an emulsify quality, this is needed to keep the bread together. They are also gluten free (technically).  If you don’t like to use oats, you could perhaps use all low-fat nut flour instead, which is a bit moister than oat flour so you might have to adjust the wet/dry ratio. Also you can use buckwheat flour, but it will give a strong flavor.
