Meal prepping according to Ayurveda: Eating healthy despite lack of time

In a busy day, there's often little time for fresh, balanced meals. But that's exactly what your body needs to stay balanced. The good news: With Ayurvedic meal prepping, you can easily prepare this source of energy – stress-free and with plenty of enjoyment.

🌿 Ayurvedic cooking – what does that actually mean?

Ayurveda is far more than just a diet. It's a holistic lifestyle that harmonizes body, mind, and soul. Instead of counting calories or following strict rules, it's about the benefits and quality of food .

The basis:

• Warm, freshly cooked food

• Seasonal and easily digestible ingredients

• Healthy fats such as ghee or coconut oil

• Powerful spices such as turmeric, cumin or ginger

This style of cooking will bring you back to your center—both physically and mentally. And best of all: Ayurvedic food is incredibly easy to prepare!

Tips for implementation in everyday life

✅ Sunday is your prep day:
Cook 2–3 dishes like kitchari , lentil dal , or a soup in advance. This way, you'll be prepared—even when things get hectic.

✅ Prepare spice mixes:
Pour your favorite spices—like "Cleanse," "Energy," or "Calming"—into small jars. This saves time and adds flavor to your kitchen.

✅ Stick to the 3-meal rule:
Ayurveda recommends regular, warm main meals. This strengthens your digestive fire ("Agni") and provides you with a steady supply of energy.

Treat yourself to the best – you deserve it.
