Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup 7 oz. Kasha (Toasted Buckwheat Groats), rinsed
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 + 1/2 cups pineapple divided chopped into small cubes
- 1 1/2 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 kiwi chopped into small cubes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds lightly toasted
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds optional
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
- 2 tablespoons or more honey (optional)*
Instructions
- Place kasha, water, almond milk, and salt into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, and then lower the heat. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. At the end kasha should be soft, but not mushy.
- Allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Gently stir in the 1 1/2 cup pineapple, ginger, and coconut.
- Divide it in 4 breakfast bowls. Top each bowl off with the rest of the cubed pineapples, kiwi (for color –if using), hemp seeds, chia seeds, and sliced almonds.
- Give it a taste, and if you think it needs to be sweetened drizzle some honey on top.
- Serve.

Notes
- You may not need to use honey if your pineapple is already sweet.
- This porridge is just as good when served cold, which also makes it a great breakfast porridge that you can make ahead. As long as it is kept in an airtight container in the fridge, it keeps its freshness for 3 days.
- I added chia seeds, hemp seeds, and almonds in the recipe to increase its nutritional value. If you don't have them it would still taste just as good without them.
