Healthy Snacks

Heed your hunger pangs, but don't eat something that will make you

feel guilty afterwards! The bursts of hunger you feel on and off

during a day, are actually a good sign. It means your metabolism is

just fine. Not only that, it also offers periodic opportunities to

top-up on the nutrients required to race through the rest of the day.

The problem, however, is that most people fail to realize this. In the

midst of their hurried lifestyle, whenever hunger strikes, they reach

out for junky fast foods that make them feel satiated albeit with a

bagful of unwanted fats, sugar and sodium too!



If on the other hand, you had a choice of healthy snacks, which were

also easy to prepare, you would have tasty, nutritious and guilt-free

answers to all your snack attacks. This book on HEALTHY SNACKS will

give you just that! By using smart cooking techniques, and the right

proportions of the right ingredients, our team of chefs and

nutritionists has come up with 37 recipes, which you will satiate you

holistically, in terms of taste as well as nutrition, without piling

on unnecessary fat. For your easy reference, these books are clubbed

into four sections.



'Quick Snacks' includes no-fuss recipes like Oats and Poha Sukha Bhel

and Date and Apple Shake, which can be whipped up in a jiffy. 'Crunchy

Snacks' are perfect for those rainy monsoon days or lazy Sundays on

the couch, when you want to much on something crispy with a nice movie

showing on the TV! Shove away the pack of chips, and go for Flax Seed

Crackers with Beetroot Dip or Baked Oats Puri.



For brunch or supper, when you want a slightly heavier snack, try one

of the 'Snacky Meals' like Paneer and Spring Onion Wrap or Mini Bajra

Onion Uttapa. And for those cosy evening chats when your children

return from school or the adults from office, opt for toothsome and

energizing 'Snacky Tit-Bits' like Moong Dal and Cauliflower Greens

Appe or Mixed Sprouts Open Toast.
