It is so versatile, as you can top the porridge with your favourite toppings and change the toppings through time, so you won’t get tired of it. Buckwheat porridge is furthermore a great gluten-free alternative to regular oat porridge.
Buckwheat
Buckwheat is a gluten-free plant source, which is high in protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Furthermore, buckwheat is rich in zinc, high in antioxidants and is easy on the gut, which can help improve digestion.
Including buckwheat in your diet can be a great and easy way to get more protein and ensuring, that you are getting all your essential amino acids, which are the building blocks, for making protein.
This organic buckwheat from Yupik is an excellent choice for buckwheats of high quality!

Serving
What I love about bowls like these, is that you can top it with almost anything that you have in your pantry.
Sometimes, I will add my homemade coconut milk or almond milk - you can also add a different type of milk, if you want to.
For toppings, I usually go with 85% dark chocolate, hemp seeds for extra protein and either pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds or sesame seeds and sunflower seeds, depending on where I am in my menstrual cycle.
In the picture above, I topped my buckwheat porridge with my homemade granola. See the recipe here!
I always top off my breakfast bowls with some sort of fruit or berries - my favorites are apples, pears, blueberries or oranges. Try adding fruits or berries that are in season where you live.
Enjoy!
