Here’s what you’ll need:

Here’s what to do:

1. Combine all of the ingredients except for the blueberries in a small pot, stir together, and bring to a boil.
2. Once it’s boiling bring down the heat to a low medium. Allow the porridge to simmer for 3-5 minutes.
3. Once the mixture has thickened up remove it from the heat. Transfer the hemp seed porridge into a bowl and add the blueberries on top.
