Winter Turmeric Buttered Coffee (Ayurvedic Bulletproof Coffee with Pumpkin)
On frosty mornings, there’s nothing more comforting than wrapping your hands around a warm mug of coffee. This Winter Turmeric Buttered Coffee takes the popular bulletproof coffee concept and gives it an Ayurvedic twist, blending the grounding richness of pumpkin with the warming spice of turmeric.
Buttered coffee—blended with healthy fats like MCT oil and grass-fed butter—is known for providing sustained energy, appetite balance, and sharper focus. In Ayurveda, adding pumpkin and warming spices makes this drink even more seasonal and supportive, helping balance Vata’s dryness and Kapha’s sluggishness during the colder months.
Squash: A perfect Fall Ingredient
As the crisp air of fall arrives, our bodies naturally crave warmth, nourishment, and grounding foods. In Ayurveda, this is the season of Vata dosha—characterized by qualities of dryness, coldness, lightness, and unpredictability. To balance Vata, we turn to foods that are sweet, heavy, and nourishing. Squash is one of the most perfect fall foods for bringing balance and stability during this season.
