Sattvic and Strengthening Ingredients

Sweet potato and carrot are sattvic, grounding foods that nourish the nervous system and support immunity throughout colder months.

Supports Gut Health

Using bone broth enhances the healing quality of the dish, offering a rich source of nutrients that support gut integrity and overall well-being.
