Feeling Vata: Particularly great and grounding for Vata’s, this breakfast will soon become a staple in your morning routine once you’ve tried it.
Feeling Pitta: If your Pitta is high, reduce the ginger and the cardamom in this recipe. Skip the walnuts but topp with roasted almonds instead, or simply some toasted seeds.
Feeling Kapha: don’t use oil or any nuts and add a pinch of cayenne pepper or two to the mix, leave out the maple syrup and try adding more cinnamom and cardamom.
