Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 My son's school prepares snack for children each day, typically oatmeal or they bake bread etc. For the fall, the teacher has suggested they have a raw snack for the whole class of 20 kids one day a week and has asked me for ideas; quote " is there a raw equivalent of oatmeal. " I was wondering if anyone could suggest recipies that were easy and affordable for a large number like this? Thanks Niz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 If they wanted to try some young coconuts, they could use mostly the " meat " from the coconuts along with some of the water and a few dates. It would take some work for scraping out the meat and would require a food processor, but could end up a similar thickness to the oatmeal and would be delicious. The kids could even get involved with it. The coconut water would be a great drink for the class the same day! I know you asked for " easy " recipes, but this is the first thing that came to mind.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 I saw Victoria recently in Ashland and she reported a recent finding that rolled oats are actually raw. I don't know which rolled oats she is getting however. How about rolling them together with something goey like dates and making balls with them?
