In the month of Ramadhan, I am always looking for nutritious GF foods for Suhur that will give me energy for the whole day when I'm fasting! I absolutely love this!
-2 chopped green apples
-1 teaspoon finely diced ginger
-3/4 cup of soaked raw almonds (I soak them overnight or soak the almonds in boiling water for 20min)
-1 cup Chopped dried figs
-1/4 cup Lemon juice
-1/4 cup Hemp seed
-Sprinkle flax seed as desired
-Mix apples, figs, almonds, ginger and lemon juice in food processor.
-Sprinkle ground flax seed and hemp seed on top. Enjoy!
You can change this recipe as desired, so if you love figs, add more (or replace it with something else like dates) . If you hate flax seed, leave it out. It's flexible.
Why you should eat this for breakfast/ Suhur:
-Figs are a great source of dietary fiber and potassium. Studies have also shown that figs prevents macular degeneration (so helps maintain good vision)!
-Ginger prevents inflammation, can eliminate gastrointestinal distress and boosts immunity!
-Almonds help reduce your risk of heart disease and is full of healthy fats and vitamin E.
-Hemp seeds are high in phytonutrients, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and protein which will give you energy for the whole day!
*And the best part is that you can make a batch and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days!
