I have been sharing this recipe with clients for numerous years, and it has always been a hit with people of all ages. Before long, these plant-based bars became the preferred choice for the cycling enthusiasts in the community. They are a beloved option among clients, friends, and neighbors alike.


"No need to purchase pricey and frankly, not so tasty protein bars. I am a no baker and I succeed with these every time!" –Veena

I started out making this with my son when he was four years old for a health snack. When we would grocery shop, I would ask him to read the nutation labels. We did this for years. If either of us did not recognize an ingredient, we determined it was not the food for us. Decades later, I am find myself saying to clients:


"If you don't know the words on the nutrition label, don't eat it."-Veena

“Working with Veena is incredible. She sees the possibilities that lay dormant in us and is so patient and kind in sharing her wisdom and tools to help birth those possibilities. As Ayurveda is a living science, it takes conviction and discipline to change habits, to live a different reality.


Veena makes navigating the changes smooth and meaningful, inspiring at every meeting, letting me know that, YES, changes are happening! Thank you, Veena. Many blessings!”

“I have been so fortunate to have been introduced to Veena by an amazing friend, and I absolutely want to share her information with you. I don't share a lot of people, but this woman is so dedicated to one’s health that it feels amazing to have her on my side. She's truly a beautiful soul. She is helping me navigate all my issues with perimenopause and I am so glad, as the herbs she has given me have not only boosted my immune system greatly, but have chilled my nervous system out" – S.J., Saudi Arabia
