Yummy!

Almond Butter Popcorn

balances vata and kapha, increases pitta

Preparation time: About 15 minutes

Serves 2 to 4



1/4 C Organic Raw Almond Butter

2 T Brown Rice Syrup or Coconut Nectar

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

4 C Coconut-Oil-Popped Popcorn

1/2 C chopped Raw Pecans or Walnuts (optional)

1/4 C Candied Ginger, minced (optional)

1/4 C Unsweetened Dried Cranberries or Raisins (optional)

In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, liquid sweetner and cinnamon. Make it smooth and creamy. Pop your corn and while it’s still hot, toss it into the almond butter mixture. Stir immediately, aiming to coat every popped kernel with almond butter goodness. Stir in the raw pecans and optional candied ginger and/or dried cranberries.

Ayurveda isn’t just for adults. But because it has an exotic or foreign ring to it, it might sound as if it’s too complex to apply to children. But the very fact that children are so simple and uncomplicated in their nature makes the application of it for kids easy. Once you understand the basic concept of Ayurveda as a natural, at-home remedy, even simple pleasure foods, like a cookie, can even become “medicinal” for your child.

Using Ayurveda as a template for feeding your child doesn’t mean the food has to be of Indian descent, nor does it mean it needs to be ethnic. Ayurveda is all about balance and bringing relief through balance. So if you have a hyperactive child with seemingly boundless energy and who’s mind goes a million miles a minute, Ayurveda wants to bring calmness, solidity and a slowing down to this youngster. Easier said than done, of course. But the right food for a child such as this can and does represent these healing, opposite, and/or balancing qualities.

***Depending on your constitution (and the constitution of your child), different foods will bring the best complement, or balance, for the healthiest state of mind and vitality. What follows is a simple chart for helping you identify characteristics in your child (and yourself) from an Ayurvedic perspective.***

It may be a rare sight to see an American child practicing yoga. But starting kids off early with yoga helps them develop skills to manage stress, relax, and improve concentration and self-esteem, a local instructor says.
