Organic Instant Maca and Vanilla Porridge — Buddha's Awakening

Andean maca meets vanilla in this organic instant buckwheat-based porridge. Iswari's Maca and Vanilla Buddha's Awakening is a sweet, slightly spiced, and naturally sugary bowl, ready in seconds — no cooking required, no refined sugar, and gluten-free. Ideal for those seeking a breakfast that is both nourishing and truly different from classic porridge.

Why this blend makes the difference

The base here consists of organic ground buckwheat and activated (sprouted) buckwheat — a naturally gluten-free pseudo-cereal, rich in phosphorus and manganese, and easier to digest in its activated form. Almond flour and ground chia and flax seeds provide the quality plant-based fats and satiety that are often missing from morning cereals. Coconut sugar (with a low glycemic index) discreetly sweetens the blend without causing a glycemic spike.

Organic maca powder (an Andean root dried at low temperatures) is recognized for its natural richness in phosphorus, manganese, iron, and vitamin C. Organic vanilla powder adds a fine aroma to the blend. The result: a sweet, warm, and comforting porridge that clearly distinguishes itself from mixes with artificial flavorings.

Rich in phosphorus and manganese. Gluten-free, vegan, certified organic. No added sugar in the sense of refined sugars.

FAQ

What does maca taste like in porridge?

Maca has a slightly malty and earthy taste, with a hint of natural caramel. Combined with vanilla and lucuma, it gives the porridge a sweet, warm, and comforting flavor that is somewhat reminiscent of malt or barley milk — anything but bland.

What is activated buckwheat?

Activated buckwheat is buckwheat that has been sprouted and then dried at low temperatures. Sprouting pre-digests some of the starch and reduces anti-nutrients (phytates), which improves digestibility and the bioavailability of minerals. The result: a lighter grain that is easier to assimilate.

Do I need to cook this mix?

No. Buddha's Awakening is designed for instant preparation — simply pour in your hot or cold liquid and let it sit for 3 minutes. No cooking, no saucepan.

Is this product suitable for athletes?

Yes, particularly. Maca is traditionally associated with supporting physical and mental energy in Andean populations. Combined with the plant proteins from buckwheat and almonds, this blend is well-suited as a pre-workout breakfast or as a recovery snack.
