2 tablespoons desiccated coconut (approx 10p)

100ml hemp milk: mix 2 tablespoons hemp seeds (approx 20p) with 100ml water

To Serve:

2 tablespoons nut butter (make your own)

2 tablespoons chia jam (make your own)

2 tablespoons yogurt/kefir of choice

Total cost from Incredible Bulk approx £0.85

Method:

Start by adding your buckwheat, quinoa and oats to a saucepan and cover with hot water so all grains are covered with a little bit extra water (about half again). Place on heat, get to boiling and then turn down to simmer with lid on.

Next make your hemp milk if not already made by blending your hemp seeds with water - no need to strain.

Check on your grains after 10mins, add in your hemp milk and the rest of your seeds and coconut. Stir well and continue to heat for 5-10 mins until all is cooked. Add more water for consistency you like for your porridge.

When ready remove from heat, place in a bowl and top with your favourite toppings- we love a spoonful of nut butter, chia jam and kefir on top, enjoy!

Zero Waste Tips

Buy grains and seeds from refill shop to avoid packaging.

Look to make your own jams, nut butters and yogurt to avoid extra packaging.
