Vegan Mango Jam

by Leave a Comment

The specialty of this Jam is the use of Psyllium husk instead of gelatine. Psyllium husk is an excellent source of Psyllium fiber, and it is one of the famous dietary fiber supplements. The use of the Psyllium husk makes this jam as clean and comfortable as an early summer morning. Spread on toast, ladle into brunch bowls, whisk into smoothies, or make use of it to decorate desserts.

Good for Pitta Dosha
For Vata, stir up into Nutty Oatmeal or a hot bowl of grains.
For Kapha, use lighter grains like quinoa or amaranth to sweeten.

Vegan Hot chocolate

by Leave a Comment

This guilt-free hot Chocolate is one of the tastiest healthy drink options out there. Many obviously liked Chocolate for its taste, but cocoa helps nourish our brain, heart, nerves, and bones. Therefore, it can fend off many diseases. Ironically, Ayurveda advises that Chocolate can exacerbate Vata and Pitta due to its bitter taste, but adding coconut milk and maple syrup to the recipe lessens those tastes and provides a balancing sweetness for holidays and relaxing nights by the fire that calls for a special treat.

Good for Vata, Pitta.
In Winter, replace the cardamom with cinnamon

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Total Time: 15 Minutes
Serves: 2 Persons(2 Cups)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup thick Homemade Coconut milk
  • 1 cup thin Homemade Coconut Milk
  • 3 t cocoa powder or unsweetened chocolate powder
  • 1 T of maple syrup
  • ¼ t of ground cardamom
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg

Method

  1. Mix both the coconut milk and let it come to a simmer in a saucepan.
  2. Whisk in the chocolate powder, maple syrup, cardamom, and nutmeg.

Notes

Ayurveda considers therapeutic elements are made more bioavailable when blended with healthy fat and brought with the sweet taste, making this a great vehicle for therapeutic herbs and spices. Add one tsp of turmeric, ginger, triphala, ashwagandha, or any grounded herbs you are presently recommended, as the coconut milk is simmering.
