Ayurveda Snack Recipe • Crunchy and Sweet
This Ayurveda Snack Recipe will give your afternoon an energy boost! Ask Catherine how it tastes!
“What kind of boss walks in the room in the middle of the work day to offer me a tray of tea, nuts and honey? I love this job!”
Catherine Quinn joined ayurmama.com as our Communications Yogini & Tech Liason! (Apparently, she’s pretty happy about it!)
If you’ve attended my live events in the New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania area, you might remember Catherine. She was the one carrying healing oils, spices, vegetables and email signup clipboards when she worked as my Event Assistant for a summer a few years ago, between semesters at William Patterson University.
We had good times, and I was delighted to help open the door to a vibrant, new world for this lovely young woman, at a formative age.
A few months ago, I received a lovely email from Catherine, which led to her current position at ayurmama.com.
“You taught me SO much.
You showed me what it was like to make your passion into your job.
I watched you take care of your mind, body, and soul and I watched you teach others how to do that. You taught ME how to do that! You really opened my eyes.”
– Catherine
“I want to learn all I can about Ayurveda. I’ve never felt this kind of passion so strong before. I want to spend the rest of my life spreading this good life!”
– Catherine
I love Catherine’s positive energy and “can-do” attitude. Since our summer together, she wrapped up her degree in Communications and is now a craker-jack yoga teacher with lots of experience, too!
Now that she’s onboard here, she’s diving right in to set up my first-ever webinar – going live on Friday, January 16th. She’ll be the techie behind the scenes!
And if you email ayurmama.com for information or assistance with courses, etc., it’s Catherine you’ll be talking with…
um…when she’s not busy chewing on brazil nuts and honey!
To keep Catherine happy, grounded and filled with good energy while she tackles the next ayurmama.com tech issue–a little snack with warm tea is just the thing!

Brazil Nuts with Honey
Ingredients:
brazil nuts (V- P- K+)
honey (P+ K-)
Brazil nuts offer plenty of nutritive fat, which is nourishing and Vata pacifying – especially balancing for most of us in the fall and winter.
Brazil nuts give a satisfying, grounding kind of crunch sensation when crushed between the teeth, unlikely to aggravate Vata in any way.
Eating just 2 brazil nuts a day–perfect little snack!–has been found to be a rich source of selenium, and may protect the thyroid against flareups of autoimmune inflammation.
And honey? It’s a wonder food! Honey is used as a medicine in Ayurveda, especially to deliver the inherent qualities of herbal medicines to particular areas of the body’s tissues and fluids.

Nuts should generally be consumed on their own, but adding a touch of honey is fine. In fact, the honey can help balance the heavy, oily quality of nuts–especially good for those with excess or native Kapha. Honey is considered warming and drying, and is often recommended as a final spoonful at the end of the meal to aid in weight loss. (Those with excess Pitta should avoid using much honey.)
When selecting honey, be sure to purchase honey that hasn’t been overly-processed, cooked or diluted. Local, raw honey is your best bet in general, or acquire any speciality honey recommended for you by your Ayurvedic practitioner.
May you enjoy a healthy snack if you need one–and a great “crunchy and sweet” assistant, too!
