    ThermoFun - Everyday Basics - CADA - Coconut, Almond, Date & Apple

    Jump to recipe

    CADA

    One of the first things I suggest everyone to try is CADA.  It's the most yummiest snack particularly when paired up with yoghurt and making Thermomix CADA is really the easiest, quickest thing to do.

    CADA keeps very well in the fridge for a few days without the apple going brown too!  :)

    The CADA accompaniments are endless!  I asked on my ThermoFun facebook page what people like to add to it and these are all their ideas!  :)

    • Almonds
    • Apricots
    • Baby spinach
    • Banana
    • Berries
    • Blueberries
    • Cacao nibs
    • Carrot
    • Cashews
    • Cherries (dried)
    • Chia seeds
    • Cinnamon
    • Coconut oil instead of coconut flakes/desiccated
    • Craisins
    • Cranberries
    • Dried apple
    • Dried apricots
    • Dried cranberries
    • Flaxseed
    • Ginger
    • Goji berries
    • Hazelnuts
    • Linseed
    • Macadamias
    • Mint
    • Nectarine and strawberries
    • Oats
    • Pear
    • Pecans
    • Pepitas
    • Pine nuts
    • Pineapple
    • Pink lady apples
    • Pomegranate seeds
    • Prunes
    • Pumpkin seeds
    • Quinoa flakes
    • Raisins
    • Sesame seeds
    • Strawberries - frozen
    • Sultanas
    • Sunflower seeds
    • Walnuts

    *  CADA makes a great topping for apple crumble too.

    CADA is great served with:

    Honey
    Strawberry coulis
    Yoghurt

    The following recipe is a guide - you can add as much or as little as you like!

    Do you make your own yoghurt?
    I know the TM5 has an automated recipe, but if you are a TM31 owner and haven't tried yoghurt yet my blog post will help you!
    I simplified the Every Day Cookbook to user friendly language, so it is understandable!  lol!!

      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.

      How much rolled oats do you add. Thanks.

        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.

      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.

      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.

        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! :)

      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.

        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! :)

      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.

      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.

        That is "pimped up" Judy! But also sounds DELISH!

        I was surprised to find out 'Moist Flakes' has sugar added. Sneaky buggers! So I don't use any more.

      Love the Cada but want to experiment as I'm finding it too sweet with the dates. I cut down the coconut too.

        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

        I toast the coconut. It adds flavour and crunch and doesn't tast quite so sweet.
