Yogic Diet – Millet Veggie Burger Recipe
As a yoga teacher I guide my clients how to use yoga to heal various aliments, increase metabolism, help with weight loss, relieve stress, strengthen the immune system, enhance brain function and much more.
I really love it but I also teach about yogic nutrition and the yogic diet.
As I have mentioned I help people to heal with yoga, but food also plays a huge role in healing and balancing body and mind.
If you have that right, than all other activities like yoga will work much more effectively.
So, what is a Yogic Diet?
It is about conscious food and conscious eating – always choosing natural ingredients, fresh produce full of vitamins and minerals.
You can be vegan, vegetarian, eat according to the principles to Ayurveda or Five Elements Chinese Medicine – the most important thing is to choose what is the best for you!
Today I recommend this delicious millet veggie burger recipe you can have for lunch or dinner.

Millet is also digests easily, which is important when you are practicing yoga, as of course you don’t want to feel heavy or bloated.
