Ingredients:
  • 1 cup whole rolled oats (certified gluten free)
  • 1 cup buckwheat (either groats or uncooked hot cereal mix is fine)
  • 1/3 cup quinoa (I used 1/6 cup each of of red and regular quinoa)

  • 3/4 cup raw almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup raw walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut

Directions:

Directions:
In large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (first 4 listed).
Chop nuts and add to the bowl along with seeds and coconut.
Mix well.
Add liquids (melted coconut oil and maple syrup).
Mix well.
Spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 60 minutes at 225 degrees.
Let it cool and then break apart (you don’t need to actually break it, it crumbles pretty easily if you just brings the ends of the parchment paper together).

Peppermint Immunity Booster

My friend, Barbara, created this recipe for the Shakeology Holiday Recipe contest.  She was actually creating it as we were chatting and when I told her that doTerra has cinnamon oil she incorporated it right away.  Love it!  I can't wait to try this recipe tomorrow.  I would try it today, but it's 10pm and I don't want energy right now!

Peppermint Immunity Booster
1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
1 1/2 cup of Unsweetened Hemp Nut Milk (or rice, almond or coconut milk)
1/2 cup of Acai Juice
1 cup frozen blueberries
3 drops of peppermint essential oil
1 drop of cinnamon bark essential oil or 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
Ice cubes (optional)
