This is a simple alternative to carbohydrate-heavy grain cereals. Buckwheat, hemp and chia are all seeds, which provide much-needed morning protein without the heaviness and fatigue that can come on after a breakfast of oat, corn, or wheat cereals.

Combine ¼ cup chia seeds, ¼ cup hemp seeds and ½ cup buckwheat. Soak the seeds in water overnight. Rinse the seeds in the morning and combine with 2-4 cups of water, depending on how thick you like your cereal. Simmer on the stove for 20-30 minutes.

You can add fruit, nuts, cinnamon, ginger, sweet potato, almond milk, honey, or you can make it a savory cereal and add miso and veggies or meat. Experiment and enjoy!
