"I could not believe how such a few simple ingredients now make my morning so much more enjoyable! Tastes like banana..." - Ann Marie,  SEE MORE REVIEWS & COMMENTSAbout the Author: John Immel, How to Make Banana with Ghee & CinnamonSERVINGS: 1 PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES COOK TIME: 0 MINUTES MEAL: STYLE: PREPARATION: EAT IN: PREPARATIONFor best results deep fry the bananas in ghee. Otherwise, slice bananas and sautee them in ghee, tossing gently to avoid mushing the banana. Garnish with spices. Optionally try cardamom - an Ayurvedic favorite. How Can Banana with Ghee & Cinnamon Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISSoothing & Comforting Bananas in sizzling ghee are heavy, hearty and ojas-building. They are ideal for autumn, when your body needs sweet, fatty foods to prepare for winter. As fall approaches, warm sweaters, richer foods, and cozy evenings offer comfort from the cooler temperatures and anxiety of a busy fall schedule. The pastiness of banana (gooey quality on Joyful Belly) coats and soothes your gut, helping you to relax. Sugar and fats 'sweeten' your digestive tract, bringing comfort and ease.  Cinnamon and ginger warm the gut, relaxing muscles that may be tense from the hustle and bustle. Spices help your body assimilate a fall diet rich in sweets and fats while keeping the lungs clear of Kapha mucus.
Healthy Indulgence Feeling persistently hungry but need to take it easy on snacks? Bananas are a healthy way to keep your stomach satisfied for a few hours because they contain complex carbohydrates. This snack is a healthy way to honor and indulge your sweet cravings. The natural sweetness of the bananas and the fats in ghee also make this dish a perfect midday pick-me-up in lieu of harder-to-digest snacks that destroy your appetite and disrupt your digestive routine. You may need easy, nourishing options when your digestion is impaired from too much indulgence. Bananas with ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon is a simple recovery meal to give your digestion a rest. WHY SHOULD YOU EAT AYURVEDICALLY?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. An Ayurvedic diet is tailored to your individual body type and the specific imbalances you are working with at any given time. Foods that supplement your specific body type’s needs and digest easily create your menu. Watch as you eat less but feel more satisfied because what you are eating truly nourishes you.
