Power-Up for Mid-afternoon
Disclaimer: Traditional Ayurvedic teachings generally consider bananas and dairy yogurt an incompatible combination (viruddha ahara) because it is thought to be heavy, mucus-forming, and potentially difficult to digest for some people.
However, since I am using almond-coconut yogurt (from Trader Joe's) this plant-based yogurt is less problematic.
Bananas: sweet, heavy, grounding; can increase Kapha when eaten in excess.
Blueberries: astringent and sweet; generally lighter and considered easier to combine with other fruits.
Adding banana makes the meal heavier and may not be ideal if you tend to have sluggish digestion, bloating, or mucus. (Kapha dosha or imbalance)
Preferably, eat for breakfast, lunch, or Mid-afternoon rather than before bed.
Adding warming spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, or a pinch of nutmeg.
Keeping portions moderate.
