Katie’s Spring Time Ice Cream

IMG_3197

Katie’s Spring Time Ice Cream

“Oh my horror of Ayurveda horrors! Ice cream in the spring is a big no-no Katie Silcox!”

Yes, yes. But you still wanna’ eat it, right?

You, see I don’t believe in dogmatic Ayurveda food rules. (I ditched all fundamentalism a few years ago :-))

But what I DO think is really cool is using the principles of Ayurveda and the seasons to adapt and work with my cravings and desires. Ice cream in the spring included.

So, how do I do that in the spring? In this season there is a domination in the heavy, wet and unctuous qualities. And what’s so weird about imbalances in our system is that when we have imbalance, we will often crave things that are exactly the opposite of what we need. 

Which is why, before I got way healthier, I craved lounging about with an ice cream bowl on my belly exactly in the Kapha season.


End result - mucous, sad-face, lethargy and a lack of getting s%$t done. 

So, my hot little healer-woman, here’s a GREAT spring ice cream replacement that will totally douse your cravings, but also keep Kapha at bay.

It’s fruit-only sugar. A powerful protein and healthy-fat punch. As well as chock full of mind-tonic herbs that will keep you sharp all day. The secret ingredient is that it replaces the dairy of ice cream, which is super heavy and mucus producing with a wonderful Kapha-reducing replacement. Cauliflower! And I don’t even like cauliflower. 

 

Give it to me, Silcox:

2 cups frozen cauliflower

One cup frozen blueberries

One scoop of any good bone broth protein. My favorite is this chocolate kind from Ancient Nutrition.

One scoop Anima Mundi Qi Energy powder

One scoop Anima Mundi Shroom mocha milk

Add in 1/2 tsp ginger, cinnamon cardamom to spice it up and further reduce the kapha

2 cups water- add a bit more if needed

Blend in a blender til’ creamy smooth.

For this recipe, just let the sun do the steeping. For this recipe, just let the sun do the steeping. 🌞 Fill a glass jar with dried rose petals + fresh mint and let it infuse under the midday rays for a few hours. What do you get? A cooling, heart-opening, Pitta-pacifying potion that’s as beautiful as it is nourishing.⁠
⁠
Here’s a little bit about how these plant allies help support us during the warmer months of the year…⁠
⁠
🌹 Rose - The ultimate flower of the Divine Feminine:⁠
⁠
 • Cools the heat of both the body and our emotions (hi, Pitta spiciness 😅)⁠
 • Soothes the heart and uplifts mood with its subtle, floral sweetness⁠
 • Some studies have demonstrated that rose also has the potential to support the reproductive and nervous systems, and even impact dopamine levels⁠
⁠
🌿 Mint - The crisp, clarifying herb we all need in summer:⁠
⁠
 • Helps to clear excess heat and inflammation from the gut and skin⁠
 • Stimulates digestion without aggravating Pitta (exactly what we want!)⁠
 • Awakens the mind while calming overactive fire in the head + heart 🔥⁠
⁠
Sip this floral elixir all day long to stay hydrated, radiant and keep your Pitta chilled out. Your inner fire goddess will thank you. 🧘🏼‍♀️⁠
Every year, it’s a total honor to introduce all Every year, it’s a total honor to introduce all of our teachers. I especially want to shout out @sandhiyaramaswamy who brings so much joy, femininity, fun and intelligence to our lessons, each level 1 and 2!

Okay, drop your best dinner-party answer to the question, “Ayur-what? What’s Ayurveda!?” below so we can share them the next time we need a Divine Feminine Ayurveda elevator pitch.👇🏼
Coconut Yogurt is so delicious and easy to make. I Coconut Yogurt is so delicious and easy to make. It is one of my favorite things to top onto mung daal (if using for savory dishes, exclude the vanilla and maple syrup) or to eat with berries and nuts! Plus, it helps keep the digestive system in check. I especially love it around the early spring/summer months. ⁠
⁠
Add coconut milk, probiotic capsules, vanilla bean and maple syrup to your shopping list—it’s the perfect time to make this cool, sweet recipe! 🥄
