Sweet Potato Buckwheat Porridge

One of my newer grain obsessions is buckwheat. Buckwheat is filled to the brim with powerful antioxidants, proteins, and all sorts of vitamins and minerals. I love adding activated buckwheat to top my smoothies with, but I had never thought of cooking them down into a porridge until the fall weather hit. 

This sweet potato buckwheat porridge bowl is warming, energizing, and is a great canvas for getting creative with superfood toppings!

Buckwheat porridge also stays very well in the fridge for up to 3 days. This allows us to have healthy breakfasts with ease all week long. Just store leftovers in a mason jar, add your toppings in the morning and boom! You've just made an epic breakfast.
