The prophetic way of eating
Begin with Bismillah, eat with the right hand, sit down, eat together, eat slowly, stop before you are full, and thank Allah. Dates, honey, olive oil, barley, milk, black seed, figs and pomegranate appear again and again in the Sunnah, and modern nutrition keeps confirming why. None of this is complicated. It is a rhythm, and we help you find it.
Infusion and herbal brew ideas
Mint and lemon
Fresh mint leaves, a slice of lemon, hot water. After meals to settle the stomach and cut the craving for dessert.
Ginger, turmeric and black pepper
Grated ginger and a pinch of turmeric with a twist of black pepper. Warming in winter, gentle on inflammation.
Cinnamon and clove
A cinnamon stick and two cloves steeped ten minutes. A sweet taste with no sugar, and cinnamon supports steady blood sugar.
Black seed and honey
Half a teaspoon of ground black seed with a teaspoon of honey in warm water in the morning. In it is healing for every disease except death, as the Prophet, peace be upon him, said.
Fennel and cumin
A teaspoon of each, lightly crushed, steeped in hot water. After a heavy meal or at bedtime.
Hibiscus
Dried hibiscus steeped and cooled, unsweetened. Tart, refreshing, and studied for its effect on blood pressure.
Morning snack ideas, detoxing, cleansing, boosting
- Fruit bowl with seeds: apple, pear, grapes and pomegranate with a spoon of chia or crushed walnuts.
- Dates and almonds: three dates and a handful of almonds, the classic suhoor and the perfect 11am rescue.
- Overnight oats: oats soaked in milk or yoghurt with cinnamon and berries, ready when you wake.
- Cucumber, carrot and hummus: crunch that keeps you full until lunch.
- Warm water with lemon and honey: before anything else in the morning.
