Cold Corn and Coconut Soup



Rather than cold, this soup is best served at room temperature on a hot summer’s day. Excellent for Pitta dosha. Add a Viveda spice mix for your dosha if you wish, or replace coconut milk with almond milk for Kapha and Vata doshas.  


Makes: 4 - 6 servings


Ingredients:

6         fresh cobs of corn

1 ½  cups  water

3 tsp Braggs

3 tsp coconut cream

1         avocado

        salt to taste


Directions:

Cut the grains of the corn off the cob. Place them in a blender with the water, Braggs and coconut cream.  Blend until creamy, strain (if needed) and serve with slices of avocado.  Add salt if necessary.  Serve intermediately to keep the corn enzymes.

What is ayurverdic rejuvenation Therapy?

In order to keep inner stamina our doshas (constitution) need to be in balance and nourished. We are very eager to apply purification therapies and we forget that regeneration is as important as purification
(panchakarma).

Think about what are the factors that debilitates you, then apply the correct strategy. If you are lacking sleep then sleep is the most indicated therapy, if you are to self-centered them some service will help you. The key word is rejuvenation is nourishing which comes together with an attitude of care and respect for your nature.
