I’ve really been enjoying peaches this summer and thankfully there has been a wonderful abundance at the markets. I’ve also been working on incorporating Ayurdevic healing spices* into my diet as much as possible because, especially for Vata-types like me, these spices get the digestive juices flowing and aids in better digestion. I also just love sweet + spicy as a combo. So this morning, I decided to try something thats got it all: a spicy peach smoothie. My almost-rottening peaches needed to be eaten, so in went the peaches with the usual banana base. Then added cardamom and a touch of cayenne. It was the perfect start to a wonderful hump-day.

*More on this to come, but for now the spices I take include tumeric, cayenne, black pepper, cumin, fennel, cinnamon, cloves and coriander. I make a spice blend using these spices and use in meals when possible. If I cant get it into a meal, Ill take a tsp, like a pill or vitamin, and wash it down with a drink.
