Raw Sprouted Buckwheat Granola

Lately I have become a little bored of smoothies for breakfast so I tried something a little different over the weekend: I made raw sprouted buckwheat granola! The flavours were just amazing with the cinnamon, vanilla paste and also the maple syrup that I added. I topped the granola with two tablespoons of chia seeds, freshly cut sweet fruit and homemade almond milk. I felt very satisfied and it lasted me well until lunch time.

You can probably guess it I have already started sprouting more buckwheat groats but this time I want to experiment with some different flavours. At the weigh n pay shop I picked up some freeze dried passionfruit powder, dried blueberries, goji berries and some apricots. Definitely a delicious week ahead!

You can probably guess it, this granola is way better for you than most of the store bought cereals and once you get into the sprouting you might realise that it is actually quite easy. This raw buckwheat granola is packed with B Vitamins, minerals and even proteins.

Below is Kimberly Snyder's recipe that I used to make this delicious and nutritious granola. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and spices up your breakfast too!

Raw Mango Crumble Breakfast

I originally got inspired to do this as a breakfast by one of Ani Phyo's recipes but because I didn't have all of the recipes I adjusted it to make it my own. It is everything I could hope for in a breakfast; combining my love for mangos with raw food and finally making it filling enough for any of my training ahead.

To make one serving I used the following for the crumble:

• 1/4 cup almonds soaked in water overnight
• 1.4 cup dates
• 1/2 teaspoon raw cacao
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of Himalayan sea salt
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

I pulsed the above ingredients 3-4 times in my Thermomix however you can also process it in a normal food processor until the mixture forms a crumble like consistency.



For the mango sauce:

• 1 mango

 Process this until it turns into a thick sauce and serve it over the crumble. This simply tastes amazing! Plus it is so good for you and fuels you for a busy day ahead. I combined this breakfast with a green juice to give it that extra kick of nutrition.
