I like the taste of dried cranberries on mine... and what else I have (almonds, sunflower seeds, linseeds...).
Some times I add a splash of apple juice on mine. It keeps the oats more moisturized which I prefer.
katie says
How much rolled oats do you add. Thanks.
thermofun says
Katie - it would be a personal choice - but I'd suggest you start off with the same amounts of all the ingredients you use, and then adjust to your own taste.
Janine says
Yummy, just made it adding oats, seed mix and fresh dates instead of dried dates, can't wait to eat, thanks for recipe
Mike says
I make enough for a couple of days and use lime juice which keeps it as well. Sometimes I find apples to dry and use pears. So much you can do with this.
jill says
if you do the cada with the green apple, it makes two serves, but would the green apple go brown by the second day? or how do you store it so it doesnt go brown? I'm keen to try this but worried it will go off by day two.
thermofun says
Jill I store my CADA in the fridge, in an airtight plastic container and it doesn't go brown. I make up about 3 days worth and it is absolutely fine! :)
Carina says
I've even put mine in the freezer and defrost it overnight in the fridge.
thermofun says
That would be wonderful on those warmer mornings.
Jackie says
I got a thermomix yesterday! The CADA was the first thing I made. I love it. Can't wait to try with apricot and blueberries.
thermofun says
oooh congrats on being a new owner Jackie - that's very exciting! The variations of what we put in the CADA are numerous, we are only limited by our imagination! Enjoy! :)
Karen says
I love CADA but lately have found it too sweet. I also found out my cholesterol was a bit high, not much but enough to think about it. I have now halved the amount of dates I use and also use coconut flakes which aren't as sweet as desiccated. Also I now add oats as they are known to reduce cholesterol of used every day. The difference is awesome, just thought I would share. Also pine nuts and sunflower seeds toasted on top are amazing.
thermofun says
Great ideas Karen. Thanks for sharing! :)
Judy says
Here's my 'pimped-up' CADA. This makes enough for 4 or 5 days, and I just add yoghurt, a teaspoon of chia, a sprinkle of mixed spice and fruit, usually pomegranate seeds to it.
120g dates
120g almonds
60g shredded coconut or moist coconut flakes
30g pepitas
30g sunflower seeds
30g linseed
30g sesame seeds
15g poppy seeds
40g craisins
plus some goji berries if I have them
Place all in TM bowl, turbo a couple of times until the dried fruit and almonds are chopped to your liking.
thermofun says
That is "pimped up" Judy! But also sounds DELISH!
Jilly says
I was surprised to find out 'Moist Flakes' has sugar added. Sneaky buggers! So I don't use any more.
Karen says
Love the Cada but want to experiment as I'm finding it too sweet with the dates. I cut down the coconut too.
thermofun says
Hi Karen - on my facebook page tonight there is a post with people commenting on how they vary their CADA - I'm sure you'd be interested in having a read at the comments. Cheers Leonie
Carina says
I toast the coconut. It adds flavour and crunch and doesn't tast quite so sweet.
thermofun says
That would be lovely Carina! Toasted Coconut.
