Buckwheat Porridge with Mango Coulis

An amazing alternative to oats, buckwheat makes for a delicious porridge. It is gluten-free so won’t upset the gut and is full of gut-loving fiber and magnesium. Mango is also full of nutritional goodness. It is also high in fiber for digestion and is a good source of antioxidants to help protect you against any free radical damage.
