Vegan Raw Berry Almond Pudding And Oat Parfait

Oooh la la! Magnifique!
I discovered five recipes in the draft section and wondered why this didn't quite get finished. Perhaps it's due to shameless procrastination or that silly thought that I created something so wonderful that it must remain my own secret recipe to be buried alongside me.
But alas, it has to be shared.
This almond pudding has steps similar to making homemade almond milk, but instead of using a sieve or strainer to take away the floating almond particles, I put it all to good use, blending it until smooth and pairing it with banana and berries. There will be graininess and slight crunchy texture in each spoonful, but can you expect any less from an almond?
Layered with fiber filled oats and topped with extra fruit it is the kind of breakfast parfait filled that will positively jumpstart your morning mood for yoga, a morning jog, or even work!

Raw Berry Almond Pudding And Oat Parfait Ingredients and Preparartion

1 1/2 cup almonds, soaked 6 hours (or overnight)
1 banana, ripened
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blueberries
juice and zest from one lime
3 teaspoon agave nectar (or 2 pitted dates)
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of cinnamon
1/2 cup rolled oats 

In a blender, puree almonds in some of the water (about a 1/3 cup or so).
Add banana, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, lime juice and zest, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Puree again.
Pour half into desired glass, add 1/4 cup of rolled oats, almond mixture, oats, and last bit of almond mixture!
Embellish with extra fruit.

A very perfect breakfast treat!
All fruit, almonds, & oats bliss.
