jaffa buckwheat pudding

Last week I wrote here about why I finally wrote down my bucket list. I'm still adding to the list and I'm ticking them off. Hence the purple ukelele below!! How are you going with your bucket list? Any wins?!

Today I am giving you a healthy version of a Jaffa - you remember the orange coated chocolates?! - in pudding form. Holy yum - this is definitely a win-win. Delicious and nutritious breakfast or dessert that is a raw vegan buckwheat pudding with an orange chocolate twist. Not only is it super tasty but there is also a low-sugar version and this pudding is naturally gluten-free as buckwheat is a faux grain - it's actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel.

I mean, what else would you expect from the seed bearing fruit blog, but seeeeeds???!

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
coconut yoghurt, to serve
