For a fresh start in the morning, this raw breakfast gives you plenty of vitamins, protein and fiber. It lends itself to variations. Try different fruits and adding spices like cinnamon or fresh mint to the sauce. If you have a Magic Bullet, it's perfect for making the sauce. This recipe serves one. Multiply it for the number of servings you need.

3 dates

1/8 tsp. fresh grated nutmeg
