When we were going through the Isha Yoga Inner Engineering class, our lunch was all-natural meal of dishes made of raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. Nothing was cooked. One of the things that especially caught my imagination was Peanut-Banana-Honey Porridge. I had thought that it had milk in it. But no. It used the natural oils\/liquids of peanuts to create the effect. Peanuts are very extensively used in the Isha food preparation.<\/p>\n

The main benefits of Bananas and Peanuts are:<\/p>\n

Peanuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Nutrient rich, providing over 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients
\n\u2013 Good source of niacin, folate, fiber, magnesium, vitamin E, manganese and phosphorus
\n\u2013 Highest Protein content of any nuts
\n\u2013 High in Fat \u2013 but the \u201cGood\u201d or Unsaturated Fat.
\n\u2013 Lowers Cholesterol and risk of Heart Disease
\n\u2013 High in Niacin \u2013 for Brain Health, Brain Circulation and blood flow
\n\u2013 High on Anti-Oxidants. In fact the Roasted Peanuts\u2019 antioxidant content is equivalent to Blackberried and Strawberries and far more than Apples, Carrots and Beets.*
\n\u2013 Significant source of resveratrol (30 times more than grapes), a chemical useful for anti-aging effects. and reduced Cardiovascular disease and Cancer risk.
\n\u2013 Source of Coenzyme Q10 (Fish, Beef, Soybeans and Spinach also are a good source) \u2013 an antioxidant which helps in preventing congestive heart failure.<\/p>\n

* Peanuts contain high concentrations of antioxidant polyphenols, primarily a compound called p-coumaric acid, and that roasting can increase peanuts\u2019 p-coumaric acid levels, boosting their overall antioxidant content by as much as 22%<\/em><\/p>\n

Bananas<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Reduced risk of
\n\u2013 Colorectal cancer
\n\u2013 Breast cancer in Women
\n\u2013 Renal cell carcinoma<\/p>\n

Here is how I make it:<\/p>\n

1. Soak one cup of peanuts over night in water
\n2. Crush the peanuts with some water in the mixer
\n3. Blend two Bananas with some water in the mixer
\n4. Crush some Cardamom on the side
\n5. Add the blended peanuts, bananas, two teaspoons of honey and crushed cardamom into a blender.
\n6. Blend and serve cool.<\/p>\n

This meal is not only nutritious and healthy but also extremely filling! Once I have it in the morning, I don\u2019t have the urge to eat anything until late evening.<\/p>\n

Try it.<\/p>\n
