How Can Pumpkin Waffles with Pecan Maple Syrup Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISA Breakfast Treat that's Safe & Healthy - The Kids will Love ItThe ingredients in this recipe offer the comfort of Saturday morning waffles & syrup without the deleterious side effects to conventional waffle mixes and syrups. Light-as-a-feather spelt flour is a happy alternative to heavy wheat flour used in traditional waffle recipes, and won't leave you feeling bogged down and tired. Ghee is lighter than butter and less cholesterol-forming. Almond milk won't provoke mucus in the same way that cow's milk does. Rustic, hearty, yet light for delicate digestion, Pumpkin Waffles are a guilt-free choice. Pumpkin Waffles with Pecan Maple Syrup will give you sustained energy without the heaviness, so you can productively go about your day.Feel Cozy with Grounding PumpkinPumpkin's gentle sedative effect encourages the body to relax into a state of welcome calm. You will feel relaxed in body and mind after a hearty breakfast of Pumpkin Waffles. Pumpkin comes into season just as your body starts to crave hearty foods and warmth. The bright orange gourd is a symbol of fall comfort. Pumpkin has a diuretic action, meaning it removes water weight for Kapha. This recipe cools down the fiery emotions of hot pitta with its luxurious sweetness, and is extremely nourishing for fatigue-stricken Vata. Crunchy and decadent, pecans are high in proteins and unsaturated fats, contributing to this recipe's strengthening quality. They even help to lower cholesterol.Maple's Rich Sweetness without the Sugar CrashMaple Syrup's rich aroma transports you back to nature, to the calm and cool serenity of the forest. Earthy impurities add a rustic component that indicates its richness in minerals. This full-bodied taste let's you know this is a whole food. Maple syrup literally comes from the sap of maple trees, juice that is the very nutritional lifeline of the tree. Consuming it nourishes your body as it does the tree. Maple syrup digests more slowly than other sweeteners, making it a favorite choice in Ayurveda for those avoiding a sugar buzz. When combined with the decadent oils and nourishing proteins of pecans, the sugary syrup becomes even more balancing and stabilizing. A pinch of salt adds a final burst of flavor, while aiding your easy digestion of this rich dish.WHY SHOULD YOU EAT AYURVEDICALLY?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized.
