This title popped into my head as I was cruising around on my bike this morning, working up an appetite. It is the sober version of Sex, Drugs and Cocopuffs and it has been cracking me up all day. The subtitle would have to be upgraded to “A Glow Culture Manifesto”. Dreaming up what a book like this would actually be like inspired my breakfast and little creative writing session before I headed off to work. We’ll see if anything comes from it…
Day 186: Oat groats with coconut cream, strawberries, bloobs, cacao nibs and seeds. I cooked the oats in coconut water. I had never tried before but will totally be doing do again. They tasted cleaner, nuttier and mildly sweet. They didn’t feel so heavy. I am excited to play around with this idea some more. Summer is a great time to be coconut crazy. It is just good every which way (unless you put it in a cake and then I would have to call YOU crazy but hey, to each their own). Coconut is mega hydrating and yet, pretty fatty, which I dig. It’s loaded with magnesium, selenium, copper, zinc and vitamin B6. All of which are super important for your body in recovery. Low B6 can lead to depression. Not enough Magnesium can keep you from sleeping and cause you to feel anxious. Coconuts are also a great source of potassium which is vital to your health. It regulates the fluid balance in our bodies, lowers blood pressure, reduces muscle cramps and the risk of stroke. Maybe coconuts are a fruit, a nut, a seed.. I dunno! And I’m not going to google it! We could probably make a good case for all three.. Either way they are definitely delicious tropical magical.
*If you want to try it.. Soak 1 cup of oat groats overnight in 1 cup of water and 2 tblsp of apple cider vinegar. Rinse them in the morning and cook them at a low simmer for 5 minutes in 1 cup of coconut water. Top them off with anything you like or eat them undressed. Sometimes naked is best.
