Here are 19 vegan diet inspired ayahuasca meals for you to try. You will need to tweak them a little to remove certain foods but they are very close to Ayahuasca Diet meals.
The ayahuasca diet is an important part of the ayahuasca preparations as it
- cleans your system out (less purging),
- and in my opinion creates the ability to have a deeper connection during your ceremonies,
- but, on top of that it also helps you avoid potentially (but unlikely) dangerous effects from increased levels of Tyramine and also any potentially bad effects from combining Ayahuasca with any medication you might be taking regularly.
- If you are not aware of the potential effects of Tyramine and medication when combined with drinking Ayahuasca then you need to do some reading as this is an important part of the dieta to understand and be aware of. I wrote about these effects and potential dangers for you to learn about in this post here so read it!
20 vegan inspired Ayahuasca recipes:
These recipes came from Jaimie Olivers site which is great cos you can search through a lot of creative and tasty recipes in your preparation.
Beware, these recipes will mostly need some tweaking to be truly Ayahuasca friendly. There is a full list here of the foods you need to avoid but, as a basic set of these I would recommend removing any oils (you can replace it with water you just need to check the pan more often as obviously it will evaporate), garlic, alcohol, read meat, salt, pepper and any spices. You can have some fish and chicken but, rarely. Perhaps once per week would be a good guide line while on the Ayahuasca Diet.
An important note on my Ayahuasca diet: I sometimes CHEAT! More accurately I follow it 80/20 so 80% strict. This is mainly because I do it for about a month beforehand and as this is quite a long time I find I need to give myself a few ‘treats’ here and there to allow myself to do it. If you are in your preparation and are doing less or perhaps you can be more strict. I think if I was doing it for only 2 weeks or less I would be able to be strict 100%.
6. Sweet potato chilli – CHILII IS FORBIDDEN!!
Hi Sebastian, good point! Another good point is that in the article I say that these recipes will need some tweaking. I also say that sometimes I cheat a little bit on it due 1) doing it for a month and 2) not being as tough as I’d like to be. That’s Ok that you forgot to read the article however, I forgive you 😛
So… it’s not very helpful to post “ayahuasca diet recipes” that simply aren’t. Chili, onions, garlic… Many of these recipes have one or all of these forbidden ingredients. We don’t need more links to non-compliant vegan recipes we can struggle to tweak (there are millions of sites for those) when we are looking for dieta-friendly recipes.
I guess it’s really hard to take some action of your own. Noted.
Very misleading. And yes, I read about “tweaking” the recipes, but it’s just very misleading of you to say “19 ayahuasca diet recipes: so you don’t have to think too hard” when they are not.
By definition it can’t be misleading if you are told about it which you readily admit 😉 Oh look you didn’t even leave a real email – just shit posting and ghosting. Real high quality human right there.
hey man, i am no extpert: but just the first receipe keeps me wondering?
sugar, rice vinegar, miso, mirin rice wine? arent these all no nos for a reason? specially the fermented stuff like vinegar, mirin and miso might play out bad due to tyramines?
Hey Theo, thanks for that. The original intention of my article was to ‘inspire’ some ideas for people to try and tweak them as they please but I can see now based on yours and other comments that people don’t really read the article and simply scroll to the recipe links which then contain things which I intended people to research and take out various items base on the ayahuasca diet rules. Perhaps it’s best if I rewrite these to be very strict and publish them on the site instead of just linking to them. I’m doing a rewrite at the moment so I’ll try to do that so people are not left guessing so much. Thanks for the comment and for being polite. I appreciate that and reply in kind.
If you would like a very safe Ayahuasca meal then boil some rice, fry a plantain (good non stick pan no oil) and perhaps add a grilled white fish. This is what you would be given in a Peruvian (Shipibo) Ayahuasca Dieta. All other meals are us trying to fit a western diet into the Ayahuasca Dieta system which inevitably means you have to be able to understand it from a fundamental level and assess each meal you prepare or buy against it. This is no different than what I’m doing in this article. Just giving you ideas you will need to understand how to tweak. There are links there to some information on what fundamental rules to apply but you have already understood some of these by your comment so use those things you’ve learned and apply them to everything you read here and anywhere else.
