Ingredients 
- 2/3 of a cup of buckwheat soaked in 1 cup of water 
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 a cup of blueberries 
- 1/4 of a cup of almond milk, any other non-dairy milk is great though if you don’t have almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter 
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Optional: 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup

Method 
1. Leave buckwheat in a bowl of water and leave to soak overnight. 

2. Once you’re ready to make your porridge, use a sieve to drain the water from the buckwheat and rinse it well, it will be a bit gooey so rinse until the water coming out from your sieve is clear.

3. Place two thirds of your buckwheat in a blender with the almond milk, chia seeds, banana, blueberries, almond butter and honey/maple syrup (if you’re using it).

4. Blend for a minute or so until it’s creamy but not totally smooth. Place it into a bowl and stir in the remaining third of the buckwheat. Then serve and enjoy!

To serve, feel free to garnish with things such as granola, fresh berries, nuts, seeds, coconut, goji berries and cacao nibs.
