INGREDIENTS
1 small cup of precooked oats
1/2 apple (cooked inside the oats)
1 frozen banana (its the only fruit I use frozen because I love the consistency)
1/2 fresh dragonfruit
1/4 fresh papaya
3 dates (cooked inside the oats)
1 small cup of almond milk or any other non dairy milk
1 tsp ashwagandha (powerful ayurredic adaptogen for stres relief)
1 tsp turmeric powder (most powerful anti inflammatory medicine)1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp papaya seeds (most powerful parasite killers)
Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
Ayurveda is all about warm & combining ingredient to ease our digestion.
Combine oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, salt & pepper in a sauce pan, grate the apple & add your chosen milk.
When you use banana in your recipes, avoid mixing it with dairy product – banana & dairy don’t go together!
I use half milk & half water. Cook until soft stirring occasionally ~ 10-15 min.Let them cool down.
Combine all other Ingredients in a blender, add cooled down porridge & rest of the milk.
Blend until smooth.
Add/remove anything to your liking & tastebuds.
Be as adventures as you like with toppings. Close your eyes, connect with your food, say a little prayer -Enjoy!
* Smoothies are the best to get all our nutrients together & playing around with different colours & flavours. Be playful by using cacao, moringa, spirilina ete powder to your liking ».
