Winter Warming Chia Pudding – Raw Vegan Tonic Superfood Recipe

Many people find eating raw food in winter difficult. They may have more colder constitution. I’d not want to force people to eat in a certain way if it becomes stressful. Including some healthy cooked foods can be beneficial to some this season.

I personally still enjoy eating raw meals in winter. However I need to make sure to increase more tonic herbs, superfoods and general foods that are warming and nourishing for spleen.

Our digestive system works well when it is not damp and cold and raw food has a tendency to be this way. We know that raw food is amazing because of its high mineral and vitamin content. its enzymes and vitality of the produce still intact to help you feel more energetic, vibrant and clear. We also need to look after our spleen.

let’s get to the recipe. This has plenty of warming foods. Serving warm (not hot to keep it raw) milk of your choice make it even more comforting in winter!  White atractylodes is one of my favourite herbs. It can nourish your spleen, chi (prana) which is important for keeping your spleen warm and dry. Damp spleen can lead  to odema (especially around your waistline), bloating, candida and other fungus conditions.

We also have others products for nourishing spleen such as poria and digestive support blend
