Yogi Masala Porridge

 

 

This is a good breakfast to have after your yoga practice, is fast and easy to make, all you need is a blender. The spices and ginger  help digestion and balances the flavor very good. I like to mix different nuts and seeds to make mylks, this make a nice combination that is rich and nutritious. Try to get organic ingredients as much as possible to get greater benefits and taste.

Buckweath Super Raw “Alegrias”

Lately, I’ve been reading again about super-foods, and adding them more into my recipes. In Mexico we have a traditional candy called “Alegrias” which means “happiness”. Eating healthy food can not only nourish our body but also our state of mind. For example raw cacao, is not only a super antioxidant but also contains tryptamine serotonin. Serotonin, is a substance that works as a neurotransmitter, and one of their functions involves mood regulation.

I dehydrated sprouted buckwheat with goji berries, chia seeds, agave syrup and of course raw cacao nibs. Great for snack or for breakfast cereal!

Chayote

After my yoga practice, I provide the body cell-regenerative food to heal and restore the joints and muscles. Yesterday while having breakfast after Mysore class, I shared with Dylan the benefits of chayote.

Enjoy cutting it, and making fun shapes. It goes well with apples and your favorite nut milk.
