BUCKWHEAT PROTEIN PORRIDGE RECIPE

Buckwheat is such an under utilised food, that I thought it was about time to get creative! And as I have been trying to live more and more in sync with my cycle, including eating foods that serve me at the different stages, I thought why not play around with a new breakfast recipe!
As a coeliac, oats just don’t quite do it for me… in fact, they kinda disagree with me, and as I know a lot of people struggle with gluten and oats are one of those hit and miss foods for a lot of people, I thought I would try out a different kind of porridge.
This is simple, delicious and will help keep you fuller for longer as the aim is to help stabilise your blood sugar levels!
ABOUT BUCKWHEAT
Buckwheat is also a whole grain meaning that is a good source of fibre and B vitamins (fantastic for your gut and hormones), not to mention it packs a bit of a protein punch just on it’s own.
However, if you know how I work, you will know that it’s always a good idea to add an extra hit of protein, especially to your breakfast to start your day off well-balanced!
I used the @mitchells.nz Bone Broth Protein Powder in this recipe which was actually amazing! I loved it, and ended up tasting like I had mixed a little bit of maple syrup through, so I will definitely be making this again!
Not to mention it is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free! Give it a try and let me know what you think! Be sure to tag your recreations of my recipes @strengthen.heal.nourish
BUCKWHEAT PROTEIN PORRIDGE RECIPE (serves 1 - 2)
Ingredients:
½ cup buckwheat groats
¾ cup cold water
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp. chia seeds
2 serves of Mitchell’s Bone Broth Protein Powder
1 cup of blackberries (per serve)
Optional other toppings: 1 tbsp. coconut yoghurt, almond butter, cinnamon or other kinds of berries.
Method:
1. Put the buckwheat and chia in a jar with the water and soak overnight
2. Before you cook the porridge, drain the excess water, then empty into a pot.
3. Heat the porridge on the stove on a medium heat, add in the almond milk (or other milk alternative) and protein powder. You can add the berries here if you like, I prefer to add mine on the top.
4. Stir for around 3 – 5 minutes or until warm, and thickened.
5. Remove from the pot and add toppings to serve.
Note: I personally found that this was enough for two servings so I cooked it in one batch and then reheated the other half the second day, but listen to your body and how much you are hungry and need to fuel you!
Enjoy,
