AUTHOR NOTES

While this is not a true porridge, as it contains no grains, this little bowl is as satisfying as oats and packs quite a punch. It is completely raw, chock full of protein (to keep you going), full of fruit, and warming all at the same time. Walnuts provide the bulk in this porridge while apples and dates bring a natural sweetness, and the addition of warm water heats the dish without cooking it.
