Watermelon, Lime and Cardamom Smoothie
ayurveda notes
Cardamom and fruits pair well together, warming up digestion without provoking inflammation or heat in the digestive tract.
Cilantro Yogurt Lassi with Cucumber & Sugar
My herb teacher Frank Cook used to say, "It's all about the sauce." A good meal should come with good sauces. We love including cilantro lassi next to summertime rice dishes.ayurveda notes
Cilantro has the unusual quality of stimulating digestion while still cooling the blood, making the eyes feel relaxed and cool as well. Cilantro is thus well-suited to pitta irritability and indigestion during hot summer months. Vata take heed, cilantro is also a diuretic.
Ginger, Salt & Lime Appetizer
A classic Ayurvedic recipe to prepare digestion before a meal. Red ginger pickle is also used in Japan; there it is made with vinegar and shisho leaves.ayurveda notes
According to Robert Svoboda, Ginger awakens tastes buds, gets juices flowing, and purifies the mouth.
Vanilla soda with fresh mint and sage
Freshen up sodas with herbs. Sage is also a popular herb in Moroccan mint tea. Discovered by Joseph designed by Hector, chef at Salsa Mexican Caribbean Food in Asheville, NC.ayurveda notes
Homemade sodas have less sugar than store bought varieties. Raw sugar, although kapha provoking, is far healthier than corn syrup and refined sugar used in commercial sodas.
