Hello there!
Here is my favorite summer beverage that I am excited to share with you all – lemonade made
Ayurvedic
style! This recipe was featured in
CureJoy’s
summer video series. Made with only 5 wholesome healthy ingredients!! Here is the added bonus link to my first FREE
Ayurvedic Vegan Ebook.
Pour this lemonade in a glass water bottle and take it with you to work or when running errands. It keeps you deeply hydrated
and energized
at the same time!
Chia Seeds
– Are know to plump up 4-6 times their size and are deeply hydrating. High in Omega 3 fatty acids helps to keep the skin healthy and moisturized in summer. Per Ayurveda chia seeds are tridoshic
and sattvic
in nature.
Lime Juice
– According to Ayurveda, it’s beneficial to use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of lemon juice during the summer season because lime juice pacifies pitta dosha and lemon juice has a tendency to aggravate the pitta dosha.
Rose Petals
–
Strongly encourage using organic rose petals in this drink as conventional rose petals are treated with harsh chemicals.According to Ayurveda, it’s not a coincidence rose is associated with love and caring. It balances the
sadhak pitta
that governs the emotions of the heart! It’s cooling in nature and is balancing for all three doshas.
Celtic Salt
– According to Ayurveda, including salt in your diet is in fact a
good
thing! But it does tell you clearly it’s not our regular white table salt. In fact white table salt is the culprit in many cases involving water retention, edema, and
bloating. Ayurveda teaches us to include high quality – high mineral salts like Celtic Salt or Himalayan Salt, which aid in absorption of nutrients and works as an electrolyte when included in our diet.
Medjool Dates
– I like using whole food sweeteners in my recipes rather than using regular sugar as they are rich in minerals and
antioxidants. Dates are cooling in nature and pacify
pitta dosha. They are also energizing and help to build
Ojas (balanced life energy).
Try making this drink and you will be surprised how amazing it tastes and makes you feel refreshed!
