Autumn Oatmeal for Comfort & Coziness
I have been craving the comfort and coziness that the darkness and brevity of these days of Autumn (Vata Season) have inspired in me and I’m sure, in you as well. I came to my kitchen yesterday with that in my heart and this is what was born from the simplest ingredients. This warm bowl of breakfast love will be on repeat for days. It offers moisture, substance, grounding, calm and the warmth of food made out of pause, presence and a longing for re connection.
Not to mention that this oatmeal bowl is fantastically Vata Pacifying. Every spoonful is medicine for your anxious and erratic nerves and your digestive system will heave an overdue sigh of relief. Featuring our Ayurvedic Cacao powder and our Adapt-to-Life Potion, you can grab the ingredients tonight and make this tomorrow morning. Let me know what you think in the comments below…
