Raw Buckwheat Porridge
As someone who loves starting the day with something warm, nourishing, and packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber, I’ve always been a fan of hearty breakfasts. My usual go-tos are steel-cut oats or quinoa, but lately, I’ve been switching things up with buckwheat groats. This overnight buckwheat porridge has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, making it a perfect fit for anyone looking for a wholesome breakfast. What I love most is how the soaked groats activate their nutrients, making them easy to digest and full of energy-boosting benefits. Paired with vibrant Fresh Basil Pesto Sauce, poached eggs, grated cauliflower, and parmesan, this creamy, savory bowl is the ideal way to fuel my morning and keep me full until lunch. It’s an energizing, feel-good start to the day that’s as satisfying as it is nutritious. Just be sure to plan ahead for the simple overnight soak to get the most out of the buckwheat’s benefits!
