From Ayurvedic Point of View:
For vegetarians, beans , dals, and lentils are an essential source of
nutrition—protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. As
versatile as they are tasty, dals and lentils are used to make salads,
appetizers, soups, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts, too. They fit
well with other foods, such as grain, vegetables, herbs, and spices.
Quinoa is an ancient seed that provides an excellent source of protein. It
is closely linked to beetroots, spinach, and tumbleweeds. Quinoa balances
all the Doshas. Those wanting to balance Vata should consume it with a
little bit of healthy olive oil or ghee.
Breakfast is a very important element in Ayurveda lifestyle. According to
Ayurveda, breakfast is often called ‘Nyahari,’ pronounced ‘Nyaa-Haree.’ It
implies consuming something nutritious once you begin the day. Sweet
Potato maintains the metabolism strong all day long.
