How Can Coconut Milk, Chia Seed & Vanilla Bean Pudding Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISChia seeds have the unique texture of being both gooey and crunchy at the same time when soaked. Their hydrophilic properties (ability to absorb considerable amounts of water) results in a jelly like substance that holds a chia pudding together. They encourage peristalsis and healthy elimination while satisfying the appetite, meaning you won't over eat on this dessert. Chia seeds' slightly sweet, relatively neutral taste, makes them a perfect base to add as much or as little flavor as you like, so experiment! This pudding will be too heavy and sweet for Kapha so they should add a little cinnamon and ground ginger to lighten the load on digestion. 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. Since Ayurveda believes all disease begins in the digestive tract, food is your first medicine. By eating a healthy diet that’s ideal for your body, you experience optimal health.Is Coconut Milk, Chia Seed & Vanilla Bean Pudding Good for Me?MEDICINAL QUALITIES
