Blueberry Cooked Bean Agni Muffins

Fasting on juice versus water has the added benefit of flushing your cells and energizing your blood and brain.

Also, Des and I want to get a shout out to our dear old friend and colleague, Stacey Rosenberg, who is the “student” of Eat Green in the article.

Kitchari Recipe

Thanksgiving is obviously all about the feast. The best way to feast is to fast before the feast. I usually talk about how to famine. Here is my chance to balance it out with a few tips on how to feast… ayurvedically speaking.
