BANANA DATE WALNUT BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Put ingredients in a blender in the above order and pulse until it is both smooth and lumpy.
• Note: You can substitute cooked brown rice.
• Soaking instructions for wild rice:.
• Place 1/2 cup black wild rice into a tupperware container or jar. Add about 1 1/2 cups of water. Place a lid on it. Set aside on your counter for 1 1/2 to 2 days (depending on how hard or soft you like it, I prefer it a little harder so I do it for 1 1/2 days), some of the rice will "crack" open and reveal a white inner flesh. While soaking it's important to change the water every 12 hours or so. It is then ready to be eaten as is. Simply drain and add to your dishes, or eat it raw - I love it with some fresh garlic, sea salt, and a dash of lime juice! mmmm Wild rice that has not been cooked has so much texture and flavor and nutrition - it is simply amazing! For leftovers, strain, and place in fridge in a sealed container - keeps for about a week.
