This is why you need to give importance to what you eat during all your meals. If you find yourself reaching out for packaged foods or just fruits post workout, here are some delish recipes by Kaushani Desai, Art of Living Ayurvedic cooking expert and author of Sattva The Ayurvedic Cook Book for you.
Mung Salad
Sprouted mung is easy to digest, it detoxifies the body and is loaded with a plethora of vitamins and minerals to give you enough boost for the day. Tomatoes have lycopene, one of nature’s boons to combat cancer formation in the body. Carrots contain Vitamin A and are anti-oxidant rich. Spinach is an extremely nutrient-rich vegetable with Vitamins B6, B9, C, E, K, folic acid, iron, and calcium. Coconuts and peanuts in this recipe deliver a nice source of protein with all the essential amino acids. The lauric acid from coconuts ****s harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Lemon combined with black salt neutralizes stomach acid and provides the necessary ph in the body to digest this meal effectively. This meal is complete in and of itself and will satisfy the body’s nutritional needs.
