Hemchibuck Cereal

Hemchibuck Cereal

If you haven't figured it out already, I named this cereal "Hemchibuck" because it's a combination of Hemp Seeds, Chia Seeds and Buckwheat groats. Clever hey?... I know, the name is kind of lame... BUT, this cereal is not lame at all. It is packed full of dense nutrition to get you through your morning with ease. Also, 1 serving is only a whopping 194 calories (approx.). Better than your quick 400 calorie doughnut you picked up in some drive-through on your way to work. The recipe is so simple to make, all of your excuses to eat bad breakfasts will be void the moment you read this, so, sorry about that. As far as the buckwheat is concerned, the best way to prepare this is to soak your buckwheat overnight (in the bowl you will eat it from) but I have eaten this cereal when the buckwheat has only soaked for 15 minutes and I still enjoy it (it's a little more crunchy obviously). So, here is the recipe. Serves 1.

Ingredients

1 tbsp hulled hemp hearts

1 tbsp chia seeds

2 tbsp hulled buckwheat groats

1/2 cup of unsweetened Almond Milk

1 tsp 100% Pure Maple Syrup (if you desperately crave sweet breakfasts, add 1 more tsp)

1/4 blueberries

Optional: bits of apple; raisins; cinnamon; your call


Directions

1) The night before, put buckwheat and almond milk into cereal bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set in the fridge. (If you forget to do this the night before, just put into bowl and let soak for at least 15 minutes while getting ready in the morning [it will be crunchy]).

2) In the morning, stir in hemp hearts, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Let sit for 5 minutes.

3) Give it a thorough stir, add the blueberries (and anything else you feel like).

4) Enjoy!!


So, there you have it. Hemchibuck Cereal. See how easy that is? I hope you give this one a try. Eating this kind of a breakfast is a good habit to get into. If you find that it doesn't fill you up enough, have a half-portion of a protein shake to fill up your stomach (that's is what I had to do) or, a more simple solution, make a double batch. Let me know what you think when you try this. 

Cheers!!
