Summer Guide

Summer is a time of being in full bloom, and sometimes, that can take a toll. Burning skin, constant sweating, dehydration, and midday fatigue are common signs of excess heat in the body. If you naturally lean toward fiery mind-body qualities, summer may feel especially intense.

Perhaps surprisingly, many classic summer foods can actually increase internal heat and acidity. Think spicy dishes, tomatoes and ketchup, pickles, mustard, vinegar, meat, yeasted breads, deep-fried foods, and alcohol—they often leave us feeling overheated and imbalanced.

To counteract the external heat and regulate your metabolism, it helps to favor seasonal foods that are naturally cooling, hydrating, light, and calming. Choose meals with a mix of cooked and raw ingredients, and a liquid or juicy consistency. Eating this way not only supports your body’s ability to release excess moisture from spring, but also offers the steady hydration and carbohydrates your body craves for summer’s high-energy demands.

This combined with a blend of organic, gently-dried fruit crystals makes for a creamy, sweet, and tangy treat that’s perfect as a snack or for breakfast, especially on a hot day. Includes Mango & Mint and Blackberry & Peach varieties.

Coconut Chutney

12 servings

Coconut helps to reduces body heat, supports brain health, balances blood sugar, promotes healthy hair and skin, and even has antiviral properties. Enjoy all the health benefits of coconut with this creamy chutney. It’s an excellent addition to your kitchari and it also goes well with curry, dosa, vegetable pancakes, crackers, etc. It even works as a salad dressing!

Foxtail millet makes both the Cauliflower & Kale and the Beet & Chickpea Miso meals rich in nutrients and low in calories. With dehydrated crystals of organic vegetables and spice blends to optimize digestion, you can ensure you’re eating a nourishing meal, even while on the go! Perfect for travel, camping, or anytime you need a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Everyday Broth

15 servings

An aromatic and restorative broth with celery, parsley, cilantro and spices to help you reset your system. This is soothing while traveling or when you’re feeling busy. It can also be used as a base for cooking other recipes or to support during recovery and rehabilitation.

Soothing Kitchari

1 meal

Lightly spiced with herbal tones and nourishing for the hot weather. They will keep your body cool and make you sweat less. These are quick and easy to prepare so that you spend less time around your stove during the hot weather.

Olive Oil

12 oz.

Aside from reducing excess dryness in the body (and skin), olive oil also binds with fat-soluble toxins for removal and supports mineral absorption.

Sleep Well Tea

10 servings

We usually experience sleep issues when our mind is hyperactive or the body is overheated. This is a very soothing and calming tea that will release excess Pitta from your body so that you can fall and stay asleep. This can also be served chilled for a refreshing drink during the daytime.
