Berry Buckwheat Smoothie Bowls

zero waste recipe.JPG

We wanted to come up with a breakfast recipe to make use of our foraged blackberries and were inspired by acai smoothie bowls and a recipe for Raw Buckwheat Bowls from the Every Day cookbook from Deliciously Ella. You could switch out the blackberries for other berries in season, for extra sweetness add a banana.

You’ll need a food processor/blender.

Serves 2

Ingredients (when in italics available from the van)

100g buckwheat (45p)

200g blackberries (approx) frozen or chilled works best

75ml milk of choice

1 tablespoon nut butter

1 tablespoon chia seeds (approx 15p)

1-2 tablespoon sweetener - date or maple syrup, honey, agave

toppings: extra berries, granola, nuts, seeds

Total cost from Incredible Bulk approx £0.60p

Method

Place the buckwheat in a bowl and cover with water and let it soak overnight.

When ready drain and rinse buckwheat (rinse well until water runs clear).

Place in blender with all other ingredients (apart from toppings) and blend until smooth- taste, add more sweetener if needed.

Pour into bowl and add toppings to serve.

Zero Waste Tips

Forage seasonal berries or buy without plastic from local shops.

Make your own plant milk to use (if you have none in the house mix 1 tablespoon of oats with 75ml water and blend).

Buy toppings from zero waste shop to avoid packaging!
