Steamed Bananas

For those who aren’t into a big breakfast, steamed bananas are an easy, delicious and supportive choice. This light, but satisfying option will stoke agni (digestive fire), which makes digestion stronger throughout the day. Steaming counters the banana’s astringency and breaks them down a little, making them easier to digest. The inclusion of Ayurvedic spices and ghee adds flavor, increasing satisfaction, and additional support for the doshas (constitutions).

Ingredients

1 medium or large ripe banana, cut in two-inch pieces

¼ cup or less water (just enough to cover the bottom of the pan)

1 teaspoon ghee (or coconut oil)

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon 

¼ ground ginger (dried)

¼ teaspoon ground cardamom 

sprinkle mineral salt

Instructions

Add ¼ water and ghee to a sauce pan or skillet and turn on medium heat. As it’s heating, place cut banana chunks in pan and sprinkle with spices. Cover with lid and steam for about 1 or 2 minutes. Enjoy!
