Superfood Microalgae Waffles

There is an abundance of superfoods in this recipe and also included is my nourishing microalgae supplement from ZivoLife. Delicious, nutrient-dense foods satiate and provide our microbes with what they need to thrive. Why buckwheat? Buckwheat is not a grain but is considered a fruit seed and part of the rhubarb family. This high-performance grain has many health-boosting nutrients and phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are compounds produced by plants that protect cells from damage that could lead to cancer. In addition, this seed is the richest source of rutin, an antioxidant touted to cut your risk of cardiovascular disease, blood clots, inflammation, and blood pressure. Buckwheat is also a natural source of D-chiro-inositol. Inositol assists in the body’s crucial function of cellular growth. It is a type of sugar that aids in the body producing insulin.

¼ cup ground flaxseed

2 small bananas or 1 large, mashed with a fork

1 cup acai puree, (found in most freezer isles in the frozen fruit section) You can also sub a
