Game Changing Kasha (Roasted Buckwheat) Porridge
A delicious gut-healthy porridge perfect for people who don't enjoy oatmeal but want the benefits of whole grains in the morning. Buckwheat is loaded with fibre, iron and amino acids. It's considered a sustainable crop, and it grows locally in Canada! It's also speedy to prepare, less than 10 minutes on the stovetop.
Ingredients
Kasha porridge

Toppings
- 1 cup plant milk of choice
- handful roasted nuts optional
- handful fresh fruit optional

Instructions
- Rinse and drain kasha. In a medium pot, combine all ingredients, bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and cover. Let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes. If it appears too dry, add a touch of water.
