Namaste,
What I have done during travel, is to visit Starbucks... what! you say?

I am not a coffee drinker, but order the Chai Latte. I try to go for as many 'tastes' and rasa's that are offered while traveling (and at home) . The Chai has cinnamon, ginger, cardamom ,some sugar, and hot steamed milk. This may sound a bit unusual, but from an Ayurvedic perspective and for me, a Pitta-vata person, this is a perfect match. If it had ghee in it, it would be 100% best fit. I do order it made with non-fat milk. Yet if I was all vata, then I would use whole milk.

It has everything thing one needs for energy , taste, balancing the dosha's for pitta and vata. It's excellent extra hot, yet can be also ordered over ice; the not so good - they have become a bit expensive.

Another thing one may want to be aware of is the caffeine; ( It does come de-caf yet not at Strbucks' stores) . I do not drink coffee or cola's or any product with caffeine, and I cannot tell how much caffeine the chai has, yet not enough for me to even notice.


just an idea for 'eating' on the go.
