Ingredients for one person

A spoonful of ground Saracenotto Mulino Marello beans

A jar of almond yogurt or organic sugar-free yogurt

A teaspoon of organic flaxseed oil

A teaspoon of organic chia seeds

Juice of half a lemon

Half a tub of blueberries

A spoonful of dried or soaked goji berries

Procedure

Emulsify the yogurt with the linseed oil and chia seeds with a fork. Add the lemon juice, goji berries and blueberries. Using a coffee grinder, grind the buckwheat grains into flour and complete. Serve at room temperature. If you wish, prepare the cream with other seasonal fruit such as blackberries and raspberries or a small bunch of summer grapes.

Curiosity

Finding the recipe for a healthy breakfast that gives support, energy, satiates and gratifies is not easy. In summer we particularly need it to face the work day with clarity or to enjoy our holidays to the fullest without drops in energy and hunger pangs.

Surely many of you have heard of Budwig Cream, also known as breakfast kousmine. The Kousmine method was born from the studies of the Russian doctor Kousmine who takes into consideration the human being as a whole, highlighting a close correlation between food and disease.

This cream is certainly not a miracle recipe, but a balanced dish rich in nutrients. It can represent a starting point for developing a new awareness and opening up to the consumption of new ingredients and above all live food.

It is an extremely flexible recipe as it can be adapted according to our tastes, the ingredients we have at home and the seasons.

The base is always a natural soya yoghurt with no added sugar, alternatively an almond yoghurt could also be fine. To this is added a teaspoon of linseed oil to be emulsified carefully, a necessary step to soften the particular flavor of linseed oil. It is advisable that this be of quality and possibly those stored in the refrigerated counter, more intact from a nutritional point of view. Alternatively, a teaspoon of ground flaxseed, possibly freshly ground, may be fine. To this cream you can add seeds or dried fruit such as sunflower seeds or almonds, dried fruit such as raisins or a diced date or half a mashed banana in order to sweeten and make this recipe even more pleasant. We proceed with a cereal or pseudocereal such as buckwheat, oats or brown rice to be used raw and ground at the moment. Finally, it is completed with the juice of half a lemon and the addition of other pieces of seasonal fruit.

The version I propose is typically summer and features a particular cheerful and tasty note in blueberries and goji berries. The base is a sugar-free almond yogurt mixed with linseed oil, chia seeds and lemon. I used Mulino Marello buckwheat grains that I ground on the spot with a small grinder like a simple coffee grinder.

A good, fresh breakfast, very satiating and energetic.
