Has someone got the CADA recipe? I know it's Coconut, Apple, Dates, Almonds (hence CADA) but I don't know the quantities and how long to whizz it, etc.
-
i think it's totally flexible - put in quantities that you enjoy and whiz (turbo) til you get a consistency you enjoy ;)
-
For those of us not in the know, can you please explain what CADA mixture is and what it is used for ??? ???
-
it's Coconut, Apple, Dates, Almonds (hence CADA)
they are chopped and mixed, cindy o/meara suggests it as a healthy breakfast
i tried it and it's yummy all right but i can't eat it as raw apple, nuts and coconut all upset my tummy LOL
-
Thanks Karen, I have her TMX book but it isn't in there. In fact only tried one thing in it (Zucchini slice), hated it and haven't tried another thing in there so that was a waste of money.
-
that's a shame judy :( i would probably buy it off you if you wanted to sell it?
i think the recipe is in her changing habits book. it used to be on her site but has disappeared along with the salt recipe when she redid it.
-
You can have it Karen, just PM your address to me. Rather see it getting used than just sitting there never being referred to.

Hi Ayla,
This recipe is in the vegetarian cookbook:
CADA Breakfast:
• Handful of shredded coconut
• Handful of almonds
• Handful of pitted dates
• 1 apple quartered
These are the quantities in the book and you just pulse it with the turbo button two or three times.
-
Thanks Cribnal! :)
-
Great - I've been looking for this because we loved the taste of it at the Cindi Demo the other night, but missed seeing how it was made!
Is there a separate Cindi O'Meara TMX cookbook? I looked for it at the demo, but could only see her "regular" changing lives cookbook...
-
hello K :)
yes there is, it's called Healthy Eating with Cyndi O'Meara features recipes converted from Cyndi's 21 Day Get Healthy Program together with a selection of recipes from her best selling 'Changing Habits Changing Lives' cookbook.
http://www.thermomix.com.au/01-cookbooks.html
i have it if you wanted to look at it :)
PS; it was also in the latest newsletter, are you signed up for those?
-
Argh - can't believe I missed it because I looked at the book tables at the front and back - clearly my children's ability to miss things right in front of them is easy to explain...
Was it in the TMX newsletter or the Cindi one? Ah found it! Thank you - should have googled my inbox first! And would love to look at the "real" cookbook!
-
feel free to pop by some time or next time i have an appointment I could (try to tremember to) bring it ;)
-
Hi VC, I asked about the Cyndi TMX booklet, and they said they were sold out. I was looking out for it myself :)
The CADA at the demo also had linseeds. I didn't get the quantity so I just add 2 tablespoons at the start, grind it, then add the other ingredients and pulse.
I have had it for brekky 2 days in a row :) It's wonderful isn't it!
Missed you the other night Karen! :( I'd love to see those books too sometime :)
-
rowy, when do you want to come? or we could meet for coffee somewhere sometime? say the word :)
-
It is a bit of a trek... but when is good for you? I can come Thu-Fri alone or Sat-Wed with Cait. I'd love to catch up & see all your books and it could be a little heavy for you to go anywhere LOL.
-
i don't have child free time so make it a day with cait lol i only have 4 books so not that heavy!!! i can come further south than belco happily, just not civic or woden, i resent havin gto pay for parking lol
-

OMG - that's not another Karen from Canberra ??
Welcome ViolinCuddles - have fun on here.
-

-
Thanks :D . I'm a K for Kristen :).
-
You might have something on your PC I want to see ;)
You can park free at Woden for 2 hours now.
How about you email me and we can thrash it out... my email address is @gmail and it's my username here :)

I have been making a version of CADA with walnuts macadamia nuts, apple, coconut, cinnamon and dates or figs.
I also add a peeled lemon as it keeps everything fresh for a couple of days. I whiz the dates first to break them up then just add the rest. The quantities vary depending on what I have and what I feel like on the day.
I serve it with my TM yogurt. Yum ;D
-
Sounds good Nerida. Really yummy.
-
Finally got around to make this breakfast and it's yummy and filling. Will definitely be making again....the only problem is it's so loud and scares my little one (even with a towel wrapped around to insulate).
Here it is - so simple:

LLOOOOOVVVEE CADA
-
Love this one, I add whatever bits and pieces I fancy though...sometimes dried apricots, sometimes a little fresh ginger, nutmeg or cinnamon. Fresh grapes are yum instead of the apple - but it does go a little juicier. Change the nuts. And if I know lunch is going to be a long way away I add a good handful of oats (rolled / porridge oats) as well. "Beefs" it up a bit.
Yum, might go make some for my lunch now. Doesn't just have to be for breakky does it?
-
Nikkit - I eat it at any time so go for it and enjoy!
-
Is this made with just regular dried coconut or does it have to be fresh coconut flesh? I keep meaning to make it.
-
I have used both dessicated and shredded coconut (I am not sure what the difference is between the two, to be honest). Both seem to work equally as well.
Has anyone tried medjool dates vs. other types?
-
Dried is fine MJ, frsh is good too, but dried is easier - always have some in the pantry.
-
Thanks Nikkit. I have a fresh coconut, but DH hasn't been able to break it open!
-
ZDumb question coming up! Do you eat this with milk or yoghurt or just as it is?
-
Here's (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7273.0) a previous discussion on CADA - some eat it with yoghurt, some like it on it's own apparently.
-
MJ, oh dear - more muscles required. If you don't want the milk inside then just hit it with a hammer. It'll break!
GHM as is, yoghurt or milk, or any other way you can think of.
-
I just noticed this - my teenage daughter is going crazy for the stuff now. Its the first time I have been able to get her to use the thermomix! This is the recipe we use, already thermomix-friendly, from a site called:
vegiemix.blogspot.com.au
1 big apple
3 dates
2 Tbs coconut
12 almonds
Pulse 3 times.
-
cottchick, so good to hear your daughter loves this.
What are her fave dried fruits? Mix it up a bit, try dried apricots or cranberries or craisins or fresh grapes (when they are in season) fresh ginger, sultanas, the list is endless. Try a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon. Different nuts are good too.
When I make it I stand in the pantry and just chuck in whatever tickles my fancy for the moment! It is a great one for experimenting with till you find your favourite combination.
-
I've had my TM since May but hadn't quite got around to making CADA. What took me so long?!
It's so delicious and quick to make. I also add a couple of spoonfuls of rolled oats to give me a bit more oomph to make it till lunch time. I also love it with a dollop of yogurt or Quirky Jo's cashew cream. It tastes so decadent...
-
Your reaction isn’t too unusual, Alioc, I had had my TMX for about 1 ˝ years before I made CADA and couldn’t believe how good it is. I love it with added blueberries, strawberries and yoghurt.
-
I'm just not into CADA. I don't like sweet things for breakfast, so that's probably why.
-
I omit the dates for that reason, MJ.
I usually make CHACCCOMB
(Coconut, hazlenut, almond, cashew, chia, cinnamon, oats, macadamia, brazil)....as Nikkit says, just anything out of the pantry.
I make a batch and keep it in a zip lock bag. It's good to take some to work with my TM yoghurt, keeps me going until lunch.
I don't add apple as I find it goes a bit watery, and obviously it wouldn't keep as long.
On reading that, I suppose I actually don't make CADA, just a bag of chopped nuts, occasionally with oats! :D

-
:D :D. I think you are right Sue.
-
Spicy chopped nuts with a bit of coconut sounds lovely! Will have to try that... ;D
-
I like apples, the ultimate 'fast food' but occasionally I dress one up a bit like cada but not, just an apple, some spices like cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and sometimes a ryvita in there. I know it sounds really boring but its quite a nice snack if you're just looking to eat an apple differently! I do love the original cada best of all, though.
-
Ooh, this sounds yummy :D
