Buckwheat mash, my kids' favourite


When I get home from work, feeling tired and would like to have something light, and easy to make, because I'm very hungry. THis is ready in three minutes.

Ingredients:

2 cups sprouted buckwheat
1 apple (without its core)
1 banana
1-2 tbsp coconut chips
cinnamon
1 tbsp hemp seed
1 cup water

Put the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
It's ready to eat.

With sundried cherry and cinnamon:


With chocolate on top:


With small pieces of apple, bananas and cinnamon:


You can use any fruits, when it's their season, see this buckwheat mash with strawberry:

Strawberry-apple pie



This pie is originally made of apples, but here is the strawberry season, so I've tried it with strawberries and it works.

Ingredients:
For the base 1/2 cup of almond (soaked for a night)
1/2 cup of hemp seed
1 cup of dates
Cinnamon, salt

For the filling
2 apples cut into small pieces
2 grated apples
½ cup of dehydrated strawberries
1 cup of strawberries cut into little pieces
2-3 dates cut into little pieces
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp of agave nektar

For the cream
1 cup of cashew
4 tsp lemon juice
1 little spoon of vanilia extract
1 tsp agave nektar


Mix the ingredients for the base in the food processor, then sweeten and flavour and knead a dough of the ingredients. Put it in a cake shape and dehydrate for 3-4 hours.
Mix the ingredients for the filling and flavour to get a not too moist but "lumpy" dollop. It's also possible to make it without sweetener but then more dates are needed. I used dehydrated strawberries because of their intensive taste, but of course, it's also possible to use fresh ones. THe fruit-mass needs to be filtered.

Use a blender to mix the ingredients for the cream.

Finishing the cake:
Put the filling on the base and then top it with the cream. Don't cover the whole suface, so that the filling can be seen. Decorate with fresh strawberries.
