5 Reasons to Eat More Soup

5 Reasons to Eat More Soup

by | Apr 15, 2021 | Food

Love me some parsnip chickpea soup. Actually, this is the first time I’m having parsnip soup ha! But let me tell you, this is some serious nourishment. I just felt all warm and cozy and nourished from the inside out. What an incredible feeling. 

So here’s my pitch to you. My top 5 reasons why you should eat more soup:

✔️Extremely Hydrating
It’s like food + drink in one (I also feel this way about watermelon). We’re about 80% water. Hydration is underestimated. It literally works miracles.


✔️It’s Warm
It takes an incredible amount of heat to break down food. Our HCL (hydrochloric acid) would burn a hole in your finger if you somehow figured out a way to touch it. Digestive enzymes are smokin hot too btw. Cold foods weaken your digestion by cooling down the chemical process. And when your digestive fire cools, food is only partially broken down. Undigested food particles lead to toxicity.


✔️An Opportunity for Increased Nutrition
So many nutrients can go into soup! All types of veggies that you wouldn’t normally eat. I mean, a true abundance of superfoods that may taste too bitter or are just not your jam, cooked together with great spicing = optimal digestion and absorption. And the more different types of plant food you eat, the stronger your microbiome. Yes please!


✔️It’s Light, Yet Filling and the Recipes are Endless
Soup is something that we rarely over eat. Your body seems to know when it has  had enough, and you feel light, happy, and satiated. It won’t weigh you down (and I’m not talking about those cheesy soups). Your intestines need ample space for peristalsis. Soup will give you high nutrition without the bloat or discomfort from a heavy meal. And there are endless soup recipes for all seasons, all body types, and all taste buds.


✔️It Feeds So Many People
One pot of soup feeds a family. And if it’s just you, it makes great leftovers. Try it for breakfast the next day…your digestion will love you.

So what kind of soup are you making next?

The Six Tastes in Ayurveda

The Six Tastes in Ayurveda

by | Feb 24, 2021 | Food

In Ayurveda, we try to incorporate all six tastes into each meal. Digestion begins on the tongue. The six tastes in your food will stimulate all stages of digestion. This is because each stage is associated with one of the six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent

Try incorporating at least four tastes into your meals. Using simple ingredients, it’s easier than you think. A basic Buddha style bowl has all of them.

🌿Sautéed collard greens (astringent + bitter)
🌿Quinoa and avocado (both sweet)
🌿Garbanzo beans (astringent)
🌿pink salt (salty)
🌿black peppercorn (pungent)
🌿squeeze of lime (sour)

In each season and according to your own body constitution, you’ll use different ratios of the tastes. But incorporating all six into your meal increases digestibility. What you can digest, absorb and assimilate will be sent to every cell in your body. So good digestion = good blood.

Do you have a favorite dish that you want to make more Ayurvedic?

Lavender Lemonade anyone?

Lavender Lemonade anyone?

by | Jan 24, 2021 | Food

Lavender has been used medicinally for over 2,500 years. The Romans used to bathe with it. It’s known for calming and relaxing the body and nervous system. Lavender is a powerful antidepressant and also alleviates intestinal spasms, gas and bloating. It’s antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-fungal, and anti inflammatory. There are so many ways to enjoy this beautiful flower of the mint family-diffuse it, burn it, infuse it to make teas and other aromatic drinks, bake with it, as an essential oil, in beauty products, and on and on.

Simple Lavender Lemonade: infuse the flowers (fresh or dry) in room temperature water overnight. In the morning add fresh lemon 🍋 or lime juice (so that the acid doesn’t cook the lavender overnight) and a sweetener of your choice. I love maple syrup, coconut sugar, or raw cane sugar.

What’s your favorite way to use lavender?
