Buckle-Berry Bliss - Raw

This is our 3rd day of 40 degree heat in a row over here in Western Australia, coming back from a Sunday weights session at the gym i was ready for something refreshing and replenishing!! The thought of making a breakfast with frozen berries seemed too good to pass, so with my overnight soaked buckwheat and Chia seed (no oats today) i got our trusty little Oscar out and made a 'Buckle-Berry Bliss!'

My Buckle-Berry Bliss
Ingredients
1 tablespoon buckwheat
1/2 tablespoon Chia seeds
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon Pepita's
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 small ripe banana

1/4 cup pea protein powder 
1/4 cup water extra
1/4 cup frozen raspberries
Topping - frozen blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup 

Soak the chia seeds and buckwheat over night in the 1/3 cup of water.

The next morning add to a blender the soaked seeds, pepitas, coconut and blend until smooth.

I know we shouldn't play with our food but i can't help it when raw food makes me feel this good!!...



Next add the banana, pea protein (if desired), cinnamon, extra water and the frozen raspberries and blend again until combined.


Transfer to a serving bowl and top with frozen blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey... bliss!!


Once again you can easily make this without the pea protein and extra water, it still tastes sooo good :)
