Healthy Raw Breakfast Recipes

One of the best ways to stay healthy is to eat raw and eat organic. When you eat raw it means that you are not cooking the food in any way.  The meal that becomes one of the biggest challenges for people trying to eat raw is breakfast.

The following recipes are all breakfast recipes that are not boiled, broiled, roasted or microwaved in any way.  They offer a super healthy complete breakfast.

As is true with any of the recipes offered on this Healthy & Active Blog you should be very careful not to take part in recipes that are not on your recommended list of foods that optimize your health and also be aware that these particular breakfast recipes do contain nuts.
