When we first opened SpaJuiceBar, my focus was strictly on providing juices, smoothies, and a few acai bowls. The people I surrounded myself with had great ideas, and one lady in particular, Alicia, had a brilliant notion to create raw oatmeal. Alicia was very much into the plant-based lifestyle, and I found her to be truly fascinating because she knew what I did not know about plant-based food. My forte at the time of opening was juice. I am a juicer; I dream of juice, and my focus was only on juice in the beginning. So, Alicia created what turned out to be one of the most sought-after oatmeals. Our raw oatmeal was highly favored at SpaJuiceBar. Now, this oatmeal is not cooked strictly raw but full of flavor and fortifying nutrients. Since the closing of the juice bar on Las Olas, I have received many requests to share the recipe.
