Your mornings just got a whole lot tastier with these oat-based delights
Breakfast is essential in Ayurveda to maintain standard digestive patterns. Porridge stands out as an excellent choice for its warmth and adaptability. Its smooth, thick, and somewhat greasy texture is very soothing to the Vata dosha, aiding in restoring balance. Porridge may benefit all doshas when made correctly with certain spices by supporting good digestion and lasting energy. Embracing porridge in the morning pleases the taste sensations and feeds the body according to Ayurvedic principles. So, let's be creative. Seven days, seven dishes, each one demonstrating the limitless possibilities of porridge.
