According to yoga and the science of ayurveda, the evening meal should be light and easy to digest, as our digestive capacity is not as strong at night and our metabolism slows. As a result, a heavy, late evening meal may place a burden on your liver, leading to the formation of toxins, or ama. Eat three hours before bedtime and avoid dairy products and big servings of pulses—soups, pastas, and stews are good options. Try these recipes and see if you wake up in the morning with more energy for the day ahead.
