Looking for a unique and nutritious way to start your morning? Try this buckwheat smoothie — a wholesome blend of soaked buckwheat, juicy berries, creamy yogurt, and natural honey. It’s not only filling and energizing but also incredibly delicious! 🌞
🥣 Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup raw buckwheat groats (soaked overnight) 🌾
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based alternative 🥛
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) 🫐🍓
- 1 ripe banana 🍌
- 1 tbsp honey 🍯
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut) 🥥
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional) 🌿
- Ice cubes (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- First, soak your raw buckwheat groats overnight in water. In the morning, rinse and drain them well. This helps make the buckwheat softer and easier to digest.
- Add all ingredients — soaked buckwheat, yogurt, berries, banana, honey, and milk — into a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer it colder, toss in a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Pour into your favorite glass or bowl. Top with extra berries, seeds, or a drizzle of honey for decoration 🍓✨
💡 Tips:
- You can use frozen berries if fresh ones aren’t available. They’ll make your smoothie extra refreshing!
- Want a vegan version? Just swap out the yogurt and honey for plant-based yogurt and maple syrup 🍁
This smoothie is a great source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants, making it perfect for breakfast or a mid-day energy boost. Plus, it’s naturally sweet and kid-friendly! 💪🍇
