Cream of Buckwheat

Buckwheat is a perfect alternative to wheat, is gluten-free, and come from the rhubarb family. Buckwheat is also high in fiber and protein, which is an extra added bonus. This morning I made cream of buckwheat and topped with hemp seeds and fresh fruit, which added extra protein, omegas, potassium and Vitamin C. Deeelish!!

Cream of Buckwheat
2 cups water
1/2 cup ground buckwheat (cream of buckwheat)
2 tsp hemp seeds
strawberries and bananas
salt/agave (optional)

1. Heat water and buckwheat in a saucepan till boiling. Reduce to simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Top with hemp seeds, fresh fruit and salt or sweetener to taste.
