Can We Mix Apple And Milk Together - #5033

Anonymously

I’ve been experimenting with healthier food combinations lately, but I’m confused about something. Can we mix apple and milk together, or is it bad for digestion? I’ve always enjoyed making smoothies with apple slices and milk, but someone recently told me that Ayurveda says this is not a good idea. Is that true? I don’t want to accidentally harm my digestion with something I thought was healthy. When I started making smoothies with apple and milk, I didn’t notice any immediate issues. But over the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling bloated and occasionally have stomach cramps after having them. Is it possible that mixing apple and milk together is the reason? If we can’t mix apple and milk together, what should I be using instead? Does it depend on the type of apple, the kind of milk, or even the time of day? I usually drink these in the morning before breakfast, but now I’m wondering if that’s wrong. Ayurveda talks a lot about proper food combinations, but it’s so hard to keep track of what works and what doesn’t. If we can’t mix apple and milk together, I want to know why. Is it because they have opposite effects on the body? I’ve heard terms like “cold foods” and “hot foods,” but I don’t fully understand what that means. Could someone explain how that applies here? Also, could there be exceptions to this? For example, is it okay if I blend apple with almond milk instead of regular dairy milk? I’m really trying to stick to healthy Ayurvedic principles, but I need practical advice on avoiding mistakes like this. Would love to hear if others have had a similar experience. Can someone clarify if we can mix apple and milk together safely? If not, what are the potential issues? I don’t want to keep doing something that’s going to harm my digestion in the long run.

In Ayurveda, mixing apples with milk is generally considered a poor combination. Apples are light, sour, and slightly astringent, while milk is heavy, sweet, and cooling. These qualities can clash and disrupt the digestive process, leading to bloating, gas, or discomfort, as you've experienced. The combination creates an imbalance in digestion, especially when consumed in the morning, as your digestive fire (Agni) is still warming up. It’s not so much about the type of apple or milk, but the inherent qualities that are opposite. Instead, you can blend apple with warm water, almond milk, or other non-dairy alternatives to avoid digestive disturbances. If you're feeling bloated or uncomfortable, it’s best to avoid this combination and consider eating apple on its own or with a spice like cinnamon to aid digestion.
