Note: ½ bunch of mint maybe too much for some but not enough for others, Pitta dosha loves mint, as it’s a cooling herb so you guys may want to throw the whole bunch in.)

Soak the Dates for a couple of hours.Ingredients:1 ½ Mature Coconuts½ Cup of Sesame Seeds and Chia Seeds (Soaked for 2+ Hours)2 + Dates (depends how sweet you like it)6 Cardamom Pods1 Pinch Of Himalayan Sea Salt800ml Spring WaterIf you have a vertical single auger juicer (e.g. Hurom) you simply place all the above ingredients except the sesame seeds and chia seeds along with a liter of water through the juicer and you will get an amazing nut mylk (make sure to use a Ladle to add part water with each input of solids, not just all solids followed by all the water). Add the mylk (or all the ingredients if you have not used a juicer by this point), with the seeds to a high-speed blender (e.g. Vita mix) blend till smooth then serve and enjoy.Note – If you blended all the ingredients to make your smoothie either sieve the ingredients or use a nut mylk bag to remove any excess fiber or shells.)

You will discover how best to balance those tastes for yourself. ) (winter 2013) (The Yoga health coach) (Here’s to Great Health)
