Hot Breakfast Paleo 'Cereal'

When John and I were doing the Whole30 last month, I was really craving something besides eggs for breakfast and this did just the trick! I typically try to avoid eating lots of fruit (in keeping with a low sugar diet), but this was a well deserved treat during the Whole30 and generally would get us through the whole day until dinner. The great thing about this recipe is that you can swap the nuts that I used for whatever ones you prefer (or have on hand!), and for toppings at the end you can use any nut butter, nut milk (or regular milk) and/additional fruit like bananas. This recipe was inspired by yet another fabulous recipe from Paleo Running Momma (original recipe here). 

To reduce the prep time, I threw my nuts in a food processor followed by the dates. The only thing I had to chop were the apples! This serving size is relatively large, so feel free to store any leftovers in a glass container to enjoy throughout the week. It will make breakfast a piece of cake when you rushed in the mornings!
