___________________________________________
This recipe combines the delish flavors of coconut 🥥 banana 🍌 and peanut 🥜 butter with the gut healthy ingredients of oats and flax seeds! 👏👏
Oats are an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fibers, which have incredible effects on digestive health. 🙌
Not only do oats help maintain proper digestion (remember they’re a prebiotic!), they also contain beta glucans, a type of soluble fiber, famous 🤩 for lowering “bad” cholesterol👏👏
These delectable squares are not only portable 🚘, easy to make 🤌and delish, 🤤but they’re also an inexpensive alternative to store bought protein bars 🤑
Yields 10-12 squares
What you'll need:
1 1/4 cups Gluten Free Oats
2/3 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
1/3 cup 100% Maple Syrup
1/3 cup All Natural Peanut Butter
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 TBSP Flax Seeds
1/3 cup Ayurvedic Protein® Dosha-Balancing Blend in Unsweetened Vanilla Spice
How it goes down:
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Lightly spray a 8 x 8 baking dish and cut out a square piece of parchment paper that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray (I use avocado spray)
Add all ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
Press mixture firmly into the pan with the back of a measuring cup, ensuring that the mixture is solid.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool for 30 minutes.
When cool, cut into squares and keep parchment underneath. You can then store them in an air-tight container or wrap them individually as a grab and go snack. Enjoy!

Curious about your Ayurvedic constitution? Take this Dosha Quiz to learn more about how to balance your unique mind/body traits.
]]>
In Ayurvedic medicine, there are three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and are derived from the five elements of nature: earth, fire, ether, water, air.
To discover your unique doshic constitution, choose the best option (a, b OR c) that describes you and write down your answer for each question below. Then, add up how many a's, b's, and c's you have. Let's begin!
If you have mostly a’s:
Your predominant dosha is VATA, a mix of the elements SPACE and AIR. You can be spontaneous, creative, and energetic! But, are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or ungrounded? Suffering from an overactive mind, poor sleep, and/or constipation and poor digestion? Well, then you might want to take extra precaution to balance your dosha!
Your key characteristics are cold, light, dry, rough, quick and changeable - like the wind! Thus, to balance these characteristics, let’s stick with warm, heavy, smooth, slow and consistent.
Tips to balance your VATA:
If you have mostly b’s:
Your predominant dosha is PITTA dosha, a mix of the elements FIRE and WATER. When in balance, you can be passionate, deliberate and focused. But, are you feeling angry and irritable? Suffer from indigestion or burning sensations throughout the body? Then you might want to take extra precaution to balance your dosha!
Your key characteristics are hot, intense, pungent and sharp. Thus, to balance these characteristics, let’s stick with cool, soft, slower, sweet, and smooth qualities in our everyday life.
Tips to balance your PITTA:
If you are mostly c’s:
Your predominant dosha is KAPHA dosha, a mix of the elements EARTH and WATER. When in balance, you are strong, bold, calm and supportive. But, are you feeling sluggish? Overweight? Needy, resistant, or stuck in a rut? Then you might want to take extra precaution balance your dosha.
Your key characteristics are steady, solid and soft! Thus, to balance these characteristics, let’s stick with energizing, light and sharp.
Tips to balance your KAPHA:
Do you have two doshas that are dominant?
Work on incorporating the food, movement, yoga poses, meditation, breath work, and other lifestyle tips that are unique to both of these doshas. Remember, one step at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself with a lot of immediate changes.
Do you have all three doshas as dominant?
You are considered "tridoshic." Work on incorporating the food, movement, yoga poses, meditation, breath work, and other lifestyle tips that are unique to all three of these doshas. Remember, one step at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself with a lot of immediate changes.

Ayurveda, or the “science of life” (Ayur = life, veda = science or knowledge) is one of the oldest medicinal systems in the world (5,000 years old!), and is lesser-known in the West than it’s “sister-science,” yoga.

Ayurvedic herbs are powerful support systems for whole-body health, and the essential companion to your conscious lifestyle.
Ayurveda is highly personalized. But, you don’t have to travel all the way to India to experience the benefits of customized, medicinal-grade herbs! Our superstar herbs in our product -- Ashwagandha, Brahmi and Amalaki -- have been specially selected and dosed for a synergistic effect by an Ayurvedic physician.
