Ayurveda Baked Peaches

A Sweet, Warming Treat for Breakfast or Snack

Yummy! Warm baked peaches for breakfast – what a treat!

This delicious Ayurvedic recipe is perfect as a light breakfast, midday snack, or wholesome dessert. Naturally sweet, easy to digest, and satisfying to the senses, it’s suitable for all constitutions (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) — especially in spring and summer.

You can also substitute peaches with other seasonal fruits like apples, pears, nectarines, or plums depending on availability and your dosha.

Ayurvedic Notes

• Vata: Add a drizzle of ghee for extra nourishment and grounding

• Pitta: Use lighter fruits like pears or peaches; avoid too much spice

• Kapha: Enjoy in moderation; skip sweeteners if needed and serve warm
