Sprouted Buckwheat Porridge Blueberry-Chia Compote
Recipe
Recently I’ve been reading a lot about amino acids. They are important for us as they convert themselves into serotonin, and thus, in short, keep us happy. If you are vegan it is crucial to keep an eye on this and either stock up on food that is full of complex amino acids or get supplements. Buckwheat and Chia Seeds are one of those wonderful foods rich in mood-enhancing nutrients, and I guess there is no better way other than to start a day with a delicious and healthy breakfast.
