Episode 3: A different kind of Spring cleaning

Spring is a time to declutter. It is a time to let go of anything that is weighing you down or slowing you down. In this episode I share my story. I tell you what decluttering looked like for me. Just like the format of this podcast (voice notes under 5 mins) the tips I share are easy to fit into your busy lives. More about me and my work at gayatridevi.co This is a public episode.

Episode 2: Making the most of the Spring Sunshine

In this episode I talk about what changes in your exercise and diet will help keep your energy levels up in Spring. I share the recipe for a Spring friendly Ayurvedic breakfast spread: Serves 4. Done in 15 mins 35g fresh baby spinach, 35g rocket2 celery sticks chopped, 1 large avocado mashed, 1 and 1/2 table spoon olive oil, 2 table spoons lemon juice, 2 table spoons pumpkin, sunflower or sesame seeds, 1/2 tea spoon freshly ground pepper, A generous pinch of chilli powder (chilli flakes will do) and salt to taste. Blend all the ingredients until you have a spreadable paste. Season to taste with additional salt, lemon juice or pepper. Serve on a warm toast and enjoy…I paired this with a warm buckwheat pancake for a Sunday brunch. To know more about me and my work: gayatridevi.co This is a public episode.

Episode 1: Spring Blues & Spices

Three tips I share in this episode: 1. Generously garnish your meals with freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, chilli oil or radish. 2. Sip on warm ginger or fenugreek tea before and with your meals. 3. Trade the mid morning or the late afternoon coffee for Haldi Doodh, aka Golden Latte. Make your own : - Warm a cup of milk. I blend half a cup of milk with 5 cashews and some water. This gives the milk more taste and more nutrition. - Add 1/4 tea spoon turmeric powder + a large pinch of ground pepper + a large pinch of cardamom powder + 1 tea spoon of coconut oil. Allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes. - Add in a sweetener if you like. There is a good chance you won't need a sweetner. The cardamom will do the trick. I like to throw in some saffron but that’s optional. More about me and my work: gayatridevi.co This is a public episode.
