As we know, Ayurveda favours warm drinks for digestion and frowns upon mixing dairy and fruits but some smoothie tonics can't be beat! Indulge in the creamy, fruity smoothie to restore energy after a workout or as a fibre-filled breakfast drink.
This recipe features two fantastic ingredients:
1) ALMONDS: In Ayurveda, almonds are applauded for their ability to nourish, build strength, and help to calm excess vata, or a sometimes-anxious energy.
2) FIGS: Figs are a natural way to restore sattvic energy and promote digestion.
