In Ayurveda, there is a quality known as Ojas, the vital energy that is said to feed our strength and life-force. We can build Ojas by properly nourishing ourselves, eating regular meals at regular mealtimes, connecting with nature + community and committing to nourishing rituals & routines. I created these Yin Power dates to connect you with your feminine nature and support internal harmony while building yin energy and vitality.
This recipe combines dates, ghee and herbs traditionally valued in women's tonics to soothe your sweet tooth and nourish you deeply. Plus, they’re absolutely delicious!

The Ingredients...
Yin Power
This gorgeous blend of herbs is traditionally valued for supporting feminine energy & vitality. With herbal allies like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Tocos and He Shou Wu, Yin Power is traditionally used to support radiance and inner balance.
Medjool Dates
Dates are a quick source of energy & the Medjool varietal has a sweet, rich and creamy taste. They are the perfect way to sweeten up any tonic or elixir. Dates are high in soluble fiber, a source of iron, and contain several vitamins and minerals. They’re also high in antioxidants, flavonoids and phytonutrients.
Ghee
Ghee has been used since ancient times in Ayurvedic cooking for deep nourishment. It's high in fat-soluble vitamins, and the process of making ghee from butter leaves only trace amounts of casein and lactose. It is traditionally valued as a carrier for herbs, which is exactly its role in this recipe.
