Breakfast Recipe - Delicious Raw Buckwheat Porridge!

          Now a lot of people ask about Raw Breakfast options because they get tired of the same fruit smoothie everyday.  Well I have just the recipe!  This is a good recipe to prepare in large quantities and store in the refrigerator, as it will keep for a long time.  It is fairly straight forward and any ingredient amount can be adjusted for your liking!

Prep Time: 1hr 15 mins (Soak Buckwheat 1 hr)

Ingredients:

                        -Buckwheat

                        -Cashews

                        -Honey

                        -Dates

                        -Almond Milk

                        -Vanilla Extract

                        -Cinnamon

                        -Salt

                        -Maca Powder (Optional)

  

To Start:

                 You will soak 1 cup of Raw Buckwheat in 2 cups of water for about an hour.  It is recommended to use a ratio of 1:2 of Buckwheat to water.  I have heard that soaking overnight will make the Buckwheat even more digestible for the stomach.  I have not tested this theory for I am impatient.



Raw Organic Buckwheat Soaking in Spring Water

 


When the Buckwheat is done soaking, empty the bowl and rinse the Buckwheat with water at least 3 times to get all of the oils and bacteria off.  Moist warm places are a breeding ground for bacteria.

 

 



Rinse the Raw Buckwheat Several Times and Drain



Raw Organic Cashews



Organic Vanilla Almond Milk

 



        





 Take the drained Buckwheat and put it into a blender or food processor along with a Handful of Raw Cashews and some Vanilla Almond Milk (To Get the Desired Consistency).  If you want to stay 100% Raw can use water instead.  Blend enough to get a good mixture but do not over do it at this point because you have more required blending later..  The current product might look something like this.

Partially Blended



 Add:



Raw Local Pure Honey



     4 Tablespoons of Raw Pure Honey.  (Use local honey, so much better!  Some people use Agave Nectar but it is high in Fructose so I would not recommend it.)

          1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract.

          1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

          1 Pinch of Sea Salt





Lots of Cinnamon (Little at a Time)



 

BLEND!

Add:

          2 Pitted Dates (Chop First to Avoid Broken Blender Syndrome)

 

2 Pre-Chopped Dates


BLEND!

          Serve this with your favorite fruits or nuts.  You can also eat with oats or alone.  This is a very delicious and healthy recipe.  You can also add Maca powder for added health benefits but be careful because too much can overtake the taste.  Some will also add a Tablespoon or two of Cocoa Powder to made a "Chocolate Version" of this.  Add whatever you want and make it your own!  If you prefer it warmer let it sit out of the refrigerator before eating.
