I love your energy! I am going to try your recipes.

[@muzammilkhan]

Love the way you flip!

[@Clareminded]

Muzammil Khan .. thanks. It’s a work in progress

[@ukulelejoe]

Educational, entertaining and fun. You are the bomb! I stumbled upon this video because I woke up congested and will make the stewed apples. Mahalo!

[@Clareminded]

Appreciate the message! Enjoy the apples :)

[@thaisjemima9624]

Girl I’m devouring your videos! Thanks so much for share that! Im Kapha and I was in the limbo about what to eat! Yay I’ll make that today 😋

[@Clareminded]

Aw yay!! I'm so happy you connect with them.

[@LisaCamo]

Hello, thanks for you awesome videos. I’d love to see what you eat in a day for Kapha.

[@chanceymarler]

I just made this at home and it is soooo good 😭❤️ thank you for posting

[@Clareminded]

Chancey Marler so glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@sachinpatil-ll5sj]

Nice

[@beckybarrancalivingnatural8194]

Thank you! Going to try right now!

[@Clareminded]

Awesome! Lmk how you like it 👍🏼

[@beckybarrancalivingnatural8194]

@@Clareminded it turned out really good! Next time I will use sunflower oil instead of the flax oil I had.

[@Clareminded]

@@beckybarrancalivingnatural8194 glad to hear! Flax oil is great too. Olive or coconut oil will be ok too. I recommend sunflower because it’s lighter and drier, but it is more processed. For kaphas, it’s all about moderation :)

[@dikshaarora1463]

Hi Claire, Thank you for posting the recipes. I am definitely going to try them. Before that, may I please know, which dried fruits did you use in the muesli? :)

[@indranikeiki1392]

I thought honey shouldnt be cooked or heated

[@katewade9349]

Love it! Can I use any type of apple?

[@Clareminded]

Totally! Green apples are the most astringent and best for kapha doshas, but if you're feeling honeycrisp, do that! Follow your intuition. Enjoy!

[@ifyani9569]

Hi Claire. Thanks for this. How do you store the granola? In the fridge or on the shelf? How long does it last?

[@Clareminded]

Ifeoma Aniefuna Hi Ifeoma! I usually store my granola in a mason jar in a cool dark place. Usually good up to 6-10 days :)

[@anitasivasamban3136]

According to Ayurveda, honey should not be mixed with heated food or drinks.. You might want to check on this!

[@elephant2072]

I just feel weird about using canola oil though....

[@katarina9617]

can i also add some nuts?

[@addiemaureen]

Hi love your recipes! Can you add a little almond milk coconut yogurt to the muesli for the kapha dosha?

[@Clareminded]

addiemaureen Yes! Almond milk would be better than coconut because coconut is heavier and cooler (both aggravating for kapha dosha) almond milk or even almond or soy yogurt would go good with the muesli :)

[@addiemaureen]

@@Clareminded Thank you so much! I didn't realize that coconut is not good for the kapha dosha? 💜

[@Clareminded]

addiemaureen of course, everything always depends person to person, but typically coconut is not the best option for kapha because it is heavy and cold (both like qualities of kapha) and can lead to an imbalance

[@lorenaortiz1939]

this is so tasty! im just having trouble finding a good maca and ashwagandha powder. Any recommendations?

[@Clareminded]

Yay!! so glad :) I love and use ashwagandha from Paavani, they're amazing company - paavaniayurveda.com/collections/teas-elixirs-tonics/products/ashwagandha?sca_ref=17650.merMkeLYFs And for Maca I use The Maca Team - www.themacateam.com/ but you can find both of these on Amazon or other sources. Vita jing herbs, and Mountain Rose Herbs are a couple others that I rely on :)

[@lorenaortiz1939]

@@Clareminded thank you much❤🤗

[@andrearellano9115]

Thank you for this recipe! I'm just starting to honor my Kapha body and looking up recipes to whip up, but I do have a question. I've heard canola oils and some of the other oils you mentioned as having adverse effects on the body and to use other oils such as olive, coconut, grapeseed, and ghee (which I'm learning are not advised to consume for a Kapha). What's your take on those vegetable oils you mentioned?

[@Clareminded]

Hi! great question. In retrospect of this video, I would not suggest canola oil. It is a lighter oil and thats why I mentioned it for kapha. Although sunflower oil and flaxseed oil are both far better and still light enough for kapha dosha. Ghee is good, but in small amounts for kapha ;)

[@andrearellano9115]

@@Clareminded Got it. Thank you so much for your insight!

[@honeybeebeloved3263]

​@@Claremindedhi, is the same true if I'm mostly kapha with some vata? I resonate w the sluggishness of kapha dosha characteristics but also am very dry in line w the vata characteristics

[@danncozey]

yeeessss!

[@Clareminded]

These are super great for mornings! Also a bowl of fruit is a great way for kapha's to start the day. Some berries, pomegranates, apples

[@danncozey]

@@Clareminded I've never done very well with Oats so I'm really happy to give this alternative preparation a try. Thanks for the inspo

[@Clareminded]

Dann Cozey Mmm yes great options!

[@radiantchristina]

i live in a tropical climate and am kapha. It is hot year round. Would you recommend smoothie or hot breakfasts like this?

[@Clareminded]

radiantchristina Hi! Granola with plank milk and little cinnamon and nutmeg would be best. Smoothies are OK but use fresh fruits and don’t add ice, cold drinks and smoothies destroy our Agni (digestive fire) which makes it difficult to digest food, especially kapha ;) Warm oats are always a win in my opinion, and for kapha you can too with warming spices like I mentioned above, sunflower seeds and an apple or berries :)

[@Clareminded]

It's tough when you're in a hot climate! because naturally you would want to cool off a bit, especially as a super moist kapha dosha, but the agni will weaken from excessive cold substance entering the digestive tract. Try incorporating cooling herbs like mint or cilantro to your smoothie which will help the body cool off :) Try for a couple days and see if you notice anything. Always good to start your morning with warm water to stimulate the digestive system too. For kapha, try ginger tea and then add a dash of cinnamon and clove. It will stimulate a positive, strong agni before putting any food down to be digested.

[@mbshiva]

Simply loved it. Thank you for sharing this. You are so lively 👍. May God bless you dear.

[@stella.....]

Hi, I was truly surprised that you cooked the honey through. This is definitely a non "Vedic" approach to Vedic Knowledge.

[@Clareminded]

Hi there. You're so very right. This video was filmed much closer to the beginning of my journey as a student and I was still learning so much. Cooking wise, maple syrup would be much more appropriate, as when honey reaches a certain temperature, it can become toxic. Thank you for sharing.

[@stella.....]

@@Clareminded And ThanQQQ for taking the time, may your journey be blessed

[@karenkeavy4925]

I heard heating honey creates toxicity??

[@Clareminded]

you are correct. this was an error. Honey should be added AFTER removing from the heat. Thanks for your comment :)

[@leelatu3757]

in Ayurveda we are told not to include fruit with any other foods

[@Clareminded]

Traditionally, yes you are right!!

[@notasheeple2926]

Not to be a negative nellie but...... teflon pan, canola oil, heated honey and rice milk. None of these things are healthy.
