Buckwheat Chia Porridge with Spiced Apple - Raw

I came across this recipe and thought with cinnamon and apple i had to try it! So i made a version of my own with what ingredients we had, i just wish we had almond milk left (we need to make some more) as that would have added more of a creamier texture, but i still enjoyed this Buckwheat Chia porridge all the same! This recipe will leave you feeling nourished for hours.

1 Green apples peeled and chopped
1 Tablespoon of cranberries or chopped dried apricots

Drizzle of honey or maple syrup


Methods/steps
1) Soak the Chia seeds and Buckwheat in the water overnight in the fridge until the mixture has reached a pudding-like consistency.

 2) Combine Chia and buckwheat groats with the vanilla and cinnamon, mixing until well-combined and let it sit for five-ten minutes. Add in the chopped apple, cranberries or apricots and cinnamon and mix together.

Alternatively you can only soak the chia seeds and the next morning grind up the buckwheat groats to a powder and mix with some almond milk to add a creamier texture (i didn't have any almond milk left!).
