We’ve been really enjoying these easy buckwheat breakfast bowls lately at home during quarantine. It’s a wholesome & hearty breakfast that keeps us full for a while because its a complete protein, loaded with all 9 essential amino acids and tons of fiber. If you’re averse to gluten, it’s also gluten-free. WIN!
We’ve been incorporating more alkaline forming foods into our diet lately, and I’m loving trying new ingredients out of my comfort zone. I must say, this cereal is one that’s here to stay. It’s a little bit less “mushy” than oatmeal. With a similar taste, it holds its texture which makes it perfect to top with fruit, nuts, nut butter, cacao nibs, toasted coconut… you name it!
