As funny as it sounds, finding this recipe has actually changed my life.

At the time I found it I was at a point on OMS where I was struggling with vegan protein options at breakfast to give me a bit more sustenance.

Almonds and oats had become pretty boring after 4 years, then I started using hemp seeds but it was all a bit bland.

Then I discovered this mixture from Loni Jane and it’s has been such a saviour. I eat it almost daily now so I thought I’d share it with you guys because it’s 100% OMS compliant and makes use of an array of different seeds that are great for our health.

All I do is make a big jar of the dry mix like the above, shake it up and store it in the cupboard so I can make the soaked burcha whenever I want to, usually every 2nd day.

“This recipe is very versatile meaning it’s easy to substitute with other ingredients if you can’t get your hands on something or don’t have it at home, it is also very versatile in the fact that you can eat it many different ways, you can have it with milk fresh or soaked (although it does digest better when soaked), you can have it with fresh fruit, add it to your porridge, put it on acai bowls, with yogurt, frozen berries or warmed berries, you get my drift hey.”

loni janes FLAT TUMMY SUPERFOOD BURCHA MIX (DRY BULK MIX)

1/4 cup flax seeds

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup chia seeds

1/2 cup cacao nibs

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup hemp seeds

1/4 cup sultanas

1/2 cup diced dried mango

1/4 cup activated buckwheat (can substitute for oats, puffed rice or quinoa or leave it out)

I’ve used oats and buckwheat in mine and left out the flaxseeds and sultanas (above). My mix just depends what I have on hand.

Chop up the dried mango and sultanas if you want (I like to leave the sultanas whole), in a mixing bowl or large jar add all the above ingredients. If your using a bowl mix all the ingredients till combined and store in an airtight container. If using a large jar just put all your ingredients in the jar, with some room to spare at the top, place the lid on and give it a good shake till it’s all combined. Store in the cupboard to use later.

to make soaked burcha

  • Fill half a small jar with the dry burcha mixture (I use the Bon Maman jam jars which are a perfect size for 2 servings).

  • Fill to the top with almond milk or nut milk of your choice

  • Shake it up and place it in the fridge over night.

  • Come morning – Voila!! delicious, protein rich, nourishing burcha to top your porridge or acai bowl! it really is so easy!

Breakfast: Acai bowl with raspberries, blackberries and soaked and dry burcha on top.
