Ayurveda Perspective on Festive Maple & Pecan Porridge
Oats are sweet, heavy and nourishing in Ayurveda, and are the perfect grain during fall and early winter.
The sweetness of the maple syrup teamed with the heavy, oily pecans means this breakfast is perfect for Vata dosha while a little cinnamon helps digestion.
Kaphas may prefer to substitute the oats for quinoa or barley flakes which are lighter.
