This recipe makes 2 massive servings if you're feeling ravenous, or 3-4 smaller ones for the more average eater
--> 1 cup of raw buckwheat
--> 1 large banana or 2 small ones
--> a handful of nuts (walnuts are yum, but use whatever you like or a mix! I sometimes assess my nutritional needs and go for brazil nuts or walnuts if I feel low in zinc and other minerals...your call)
--> cinnamon
--> coconut (shredded, cubed, paste, whatever your fancy)
--> figs or dates or honey or a combination of your choice
--> a splash of almond milk or other milk of your choice
--> goji berries (or mulberries, both have very high levels of antioxidants)
You may want to do the following things:
1. Soak the buckwheat overnight (or for 1 hour minimum) and then rinse that slimy goo off. In fact, rinse that shit til the water runs clean. You don't want to eat that...
Then pop those delectable kernels into a pot and tell them to sit tight while you make up the rest of the ingredients.
2. Blend/process/pulverize all of the other ingredients. You really don't have to be stuck on the exact quantities or even the exact ingredients. I can often be found at 6:00 am with my head all the way in the refrigerator scrounging for what else I can put in there. Try 2 bananas! Try a banana and an apple, or just an apple, a pear, some berries. Go wild! (and let me know if you hit on something amazing!) The above ingredients are what I normally use and my personal favourite.
3. Once smooth and creamy, scrape into the pot with the buckwheat and stir it all up.
4. Heat on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently (if you smell burning banana you need to stir it more!) and voila! Enjoy ravenously!!!! (and remember to chew thoroughly)
Love,
R
