Margaret, I love how that sounds! And especially that your 10 year old is SO healthy food savvy! My youngest son is 15, and as a serious runner LOVES chia seeds for energy and endurance. I’ll have a ‘mudd’ breakfast soon, and think of you two.

We eat buckwheat often. I bring almond milk to a light boil and add buckwheat & finely cut up dried fruit (apricots, prunes, dates, barberries or cranberries) and gently boil for about 10 min. If I need it to be sweeter, I add banana at the end. My son (10) likes to top it all off with Chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut shavings and fresh fruit, and occasionally with chocolate shavings. We call it our ‘mudd’ breakfast!

I eat cream of buckwheat often for breakfast, and it is a great replacement for oatmeal. If I could just figure out how to do it in the microwave, it would be a very quick breakfast as well!

Wow, this is a great breakfast alternative for this beautiful Fall weather. My only recommendation is to make sure that you boil the water first before adding the buckwheat. And indeed try it its delicious and it comes in many varietions as well.To good health.Nora

Cream of buckwheat sounds delightful, especially topped with blueberries. My favorite breakfast is probably oatmeal with pumpkin, peanut butter or almond butter, flaxseed, cinnamon, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips.

This sounds like a great alternative to my usual oatmeal! Other favorites are Greek yogurt with fruit and walnuts, and a slice of grainy, seedy bread with almond butter.
