Ayurvedic Properties:
Sesame and cashews are grounding and pacifying for Vata, therefore favourable. Medicinal Mushrooms and Tonic herbs give this dish an added nutritional profile. The gentle sweetness of Apricots is also very favourable to Vata and Pitta Doshas (Constitution). Coconut Oil is a neutral oil and supports and balances all three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Fermented Protein Powder gives the bliss balls additional protein and good energy for Vata and PItta.
