Kollath Breakfast

Dr. Werner Kollath was one of the pioneers of the health food movement in Germany.

He also came up with the fresh breakfast idea. Freshly grind the oats in an electric coffee grinder and your children can enjoy this raw cereal year round.

1/4 cup (60 ml) rolled oats
1/4 cup (60 ml) cool water
2 Tbsp (30 ml) unpasteurized yogurt or almond butter
1 tsp (5 ml) unpasteurized honey
1-2 tsp (5-10 ml) lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 ripe apple
1 Tbsp (15 ml) raw hazelnuts, freshly chopped

Freshly grind oats to a coarse meal. Add water, cover with a plate and let soak at a cool room temperature for one to 10 hours, or overnight. Serves one to two.

The next morning, combine lemon juice, yogurt (or almond butter) and honey in a bowl. Grate the apple into the lemon sauce. Stir in the oats and sprinkle with hazelnuts. Serve at once (before the apple turns brown).
