Optionally, you can add cooked quinoa, whole oatmeal, or green buckwheat. Hemp hearts can be replaced with pumpkin seeds or almonds. This porridge is filling, nutritious, and high in protein. In summer or for a cold version, soak overnight or blend in the morning. For a warm, comforting version in winter, simmer for 5-6 minutes.
- 6-8 tbsp. flaxseeds
- 3-4 tbsp. hemp hearts
- 1 tsp. psyllium (optional, but it adds thickness and is a fantastic prebiotic)
- a tiny pinch of salt
- topping of your choice — any citrus fruit, berries (frozen berries are perfect for warm porridge), cacao nibs, nuts, etc.
- sweetener, if desired — a touch of natural sugar, honey, stevia, or carob
- 200-300 ml water
- a bit of coconut oil or ghee
Grind the hemp hearts and flaxseed in a blender (or use a coffee grinder if preferred). Add water, psyllium, and mix well. For a warm version, cook on low heat with the addition of oil. You can also add other grains like quinoa, amaranth, millet, or whole oats. The entire recipe takes only 5 minutes!
Top with berries (including sea buckthorn, cranberries, or any unusual additions for your diet), unsweetened fruits, and sprinkle with nuts.
