Divine Perception Blend
We understand that achieving balance and harmony in your practice involves not just the mind and body but also nourishing your soul with the right nutrition. Today, we are excited to share a recipe for a delightful and nutritious drink: the Divine Perception Blend. This rejuvenating blend is perfect for those who want to enhance their yoga experience with a boost of natural energy and clarity.
Benefits of the Divine Perception Blend
Nutrient-Rich: Carrot juice is a powerhouse of vitamins and antioxidants, including beta-carotene, which supports eye health and boosts the immune system. Sprouted almonds are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, and fibre, promoting satiety and digestive health.
Energy Boosting: This blend provides a natural energy boost without the crash associated with caffeine or sugar-laden drinks. Combining natural sugars from the carrot juice and the healthy fats from the almonds ensures sustained energy release.
Mind and Body Harmony: Consuming whole, natural foods like those in the Divine Perception Blend aligns with the yogic principle of ahimsa, or non-harm, as it promotes physical health and mental clarity without causing harm to the body or the environment.
Versatile and Delicious: Enjoy the Divine Perception Blend as a nourishing breakfast, a post-yoga refreshment, or a snack anytime. Its creamy texture and delightful flavour make it a joy to drink, while its health benefits support your yogic journey.
Ingredients:
- 16oz (around 450ml) of fresh carrot juice: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, fibre, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. They support vision, boost the immune system, and promote overall health.
- 1 cup of sprouted almonds (peeled): Sprouted almonds are easier to digest and their nutrients are more bioavailable. They are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, fibre, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Carrot Juice: Start by juicing fresh carrots to yield around 16oz (450ml) of juice. Freshly juiced carrots are packed with vitamins and antioxidants, providing a natural energy boost.
- Sprout the Almonds: Sprouted almonds are easier to digest and have enhanced nutritional value. To sprout, soak raw almonds in water overnight, then peel off the skins.
- Blend: Add the carrot juice and sprouted almonds to a blender. Blend until the mixture is liquefied and creamy.
- Optional – Add Kale: For an extra nutrient punch, add a handful of fresh kale to the blender. Kale is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants.

This delightful blend can be enjoyed at any time of the day. It makes for a great pre-yoga drink, providing the energy and nutrients needed for an effective practice. Alternatively, savour it post-yoga to replenish and rejuvenate your body.
