Eating healthy and eating to balance your dosha doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself. I discovered this healthy, easy, delicious recipe for No Bake Oatmeal on Dr. Axe’s website. I made some changes to make it balancing for my dosha (pitta /Kapha).
*Sunflower butter is used instead of almond butter. Sunflower seeds are best for pitta/kapha dosha since they are lighter and drier in quality. My version is nut free so my daughter with a severe nut allergy can enjoy this treat as well.
*Spices cinnamon and cardamom added for flavor and to help with digestion.
* Using gluten free regular oats also makes this treat gluten free. This recipe is good for pitta, vata doshas; small amounts for kapha dosha.
