Ojas-building Warm Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie

Ojas-building Warm Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup oats

• ½ tsp ginger powder

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp cardamom

• 1/8 tsp nutmeg

• 10 almonds soaked in water overnight or boiled water 15 minutes; peel and discard skins

• 2 pitted medjool dates (remove pits) or 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 2 tsp ashwagandha

• 1 cup cow’s milk or alternative if you do not digest cow’s milk well

Directions:

Either heat all the ingredients in a saucepan until steaming and blend with an immersion mixer until smooth or blend all ingredients in blender and then transfer to a saucepan and heat until steaming. I also like to leave my oatmeal out and add after blending to keep that soft chunky texture that I can drink/chew. 😉

Transfer to a mug and enjoy this grounding and nourishing smoothie!

In Ayurveda, ojas is the vital essence of health and longevity, a subtle substance that governs immunity, vitality, strength, and happiness. It is considered the refined end-product of healthy digestion and metabolism, and maintaining healthy ojas is crucial for physical and mental resilience. An ayurvedic diet emphasizes fresh, whole, and nourishing foods that support healthy digestion and the production of ojas.
