Don’t get me wrong - I’m not demonising protein by any means, I’m just against when people assume that something that works for them, will work for everyone else.

Before incorporating large amounts of protein in your body, it’s important to see:
- how it suits your digestion - how does it make you feel? Bloated, sluggish, lethargic? Or satisfied, energetic and clear-minded?

A dietary approach that works well for one person may not work the same way for another — even if it’s widely recommended or trending.

Classical Ayurvedic texts don’t categorise food by protein, carbs, or fats.

Instead, food is understood by its effect on digestion (agni) and on the individual body.

High-protein diets, for example, may feel strengthening and stabilising for some.
For others, the same foods can overwhelm digestion, leading to bloating, heaviness, or fatigue.

This is why Ayurveda emphasises self-understanding before self-experimentation.
Before adopting popularised health advice, it’s important to understand:
• your digestive capacity
• how different foods feel in your body
• what supports or disrupts your digestion

Because nourishment depends less on what is praised and more on what you can digest and assimilate.

✨ What works for one body won’t work for every body.

Protein is on everyone’s minds - high-protein breakfast, high-protein snacks, high-protein desserts. And like with anything these days - if one person is shouting from the rooftops, EVERYONE is shouting from the rooftops.

But is it is really as important as everyone makes it out to be?

And what does Ayurveda say about protein?

The truth is: Ayurveda doesn’t talk about protein. Look up any of the traditional texts (the Charaka Samhita or the Ashtanga Hrdayam) and you won’t find the word in there.

That’s because Ayurveda doesn’t look as nutrition in the same way as modern nutritional theory.

Good nutrition is not merely about proteins, fats, carbohydrates... good nutrition is about the 6 tastes and making sure they’re a part of your diet in every meal.

So when the perspective of two models of health are completely different - it’s not fair to see one from the lens of another.

This week I’ll be discussing all about Ayurveda and protein - if it’s not in the texts then how should we view it? Do ALL of us really need to increase our protein intake? Common sources of protein and their properties.

If there’s anything else you’d like to address in terms of protein and Ayurveda - then let me know in the comments below!

If you feel overwhelmed by the different guidelines on how fruit should be eaten according to the principles of Ayurveda, then just remember this one thing.

Eat Fruit. On its own. As a snack in between meals.

Since it is a relatively fast-digesting food group, it’s best to eat fruit on its own rather than combining it with other food groups or eating it as part of a meal.

This simple act will change the way your body is able to extract the nutrients from fruits. Fruits are loaded with so many antioxidants, vitamins and minerals - but we can only avail of these if our body is able to digest and assimilate the fruits. When we mix fruits with a whole lot of other foods and ingredients, digestion becomes a lot harder we’re not able to absorb the good stuff from fruits.

So keep things simple, and have fruits on their own.

Now I know this isn’t the most Ayurvedic recipe - but if you ever want to have ice-cream, have it in Summer, have it during the day, and chew on some fresh ginger + lime juice later in the day (to help break up the excess mucus which may be formed from the ice-cream). Here is a super simple, no-fuss ice-cream recipe.

Ingredients:
500ml double cream
1 tin (397g) caramel
Handful of pecan nuts
Milk chocolate (I used cooking chocolate)

Method:
1. Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method (place a heatproof bowl above a saucepan that is half-filled with water - and put the saucepan on the stove so the water is simmering. Once the water is simmering, add in the chocolate to the heatproof bowl and keep stirring until the chocolate is melted.)
2. Once the chocolate is melted, carefully line your ice-cream moulds with the chocolate using a spatula. Once coated, place the ice-cream moulds in the freezer to allow the chocolate to set.
3. Roast the pecan nuts in the oven at 150 C for about 5 minutes until they’re well toasted (slightly brown).
4. Roughly chop the pecan nuts and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, whip 500ml of double cream until stiff peaks have formed.
6. Add in the carame and the chopped pecan nuts and gently mix again until everything has been well incorporated.
7. Divide the ice-cream mixture into the ice-cream moulds that have been coated with chocolate - the chocolate should have set by the time you make the ice-cream mixture.
8. Freeze for up to 8 hours or overnight.
9. Melt some more chocolate using the double boiler method and carefully cover the ice-cream in the moulds. Place back in the freezer so the chocolate can set.
10. Defrost at room temperature for 5 mins, offer with love and honour with gratitude.

Variations: Instead of caramel, you can use condensed milk and add in either of the following flavouring options: pureed fresh strawberries, pureed and chopped fresh mango, chopped cherries + dark chocolate, saffron strands, pistachio paste + chopped pistachios.
