Meals That Heal: Summertime Popsicles-Ayurveda Style!

Meals That Heal: Summertime Popsicles - Ayurveda Style! - The Holistic Highway

We took a childhood favorite and gave it a grown-up makeover, added the wisdom of Ayurveda. The result is a seasonal treat to delight all ages with our summertime popsicles.

You may be wondering why I am suggesting frozen foods when Vatas and Kaphas do not do well with cold foods. This becomes debatable in the summer as the pitta/fire weather sometimes calls for a cool-down. In the spirit of that—and to make it simple—I made one cup of rose, tulsi, and mint teas for the pitta summertime popsicles and another cup of rooibos and ginger tea for the Kapha/Vatas. The simple part is that I just used tea bags, that way you have more time to splash in the pool!
