#HealthBytes: 5 healthy vegetarian options for breakfast
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You must make it big and healthy, so that you get the much needed kick-start to your day. A filing, nutritious, and balanced meal is usually recommended to keep you productive through the day. Here are 5 healthy Indian-style breakfast options.
Put that dinner dal to some good use
What could be better than putting the leftover dinner dal to some tasty and nutritious use? With dal, you get protein, fiber, carbohydrates; and with Dal paranthas, you get to satisfy your taste buds, and stay full for a good number of hours to come. And, it's as simple as mixing the leftover dal to your regular dough for oil-less paranthas.
A bowl full of nutritious goodness and tasty breakfast
The best part about Upma as a breakfast option is that you can add anything you desire to it, be it veggies, dry-fruits, lentils, curry leaves. This makes it a great breakfast option that is both packed with nutritious goodness, and a tasty delight. Try it for the amazing health benefits of Suji/Rava ie. energy boost, filling ability, and great heart health.
The breakfast we all love: Poha
Given its popularity and easy-to-make nature, Poha is already a winner. But what makes Poha an impeccable breakfast option is its various health benefits as it has healthy carbohydrates, can be easily digested. It is also rich in iron. Being low-calorie, Poha gives nutritious value without even risking you of becoming fatter. Do not forget to add a lot of veggies.
Nutrition+Taste = Sambhar+Idli
Taste and nutrition is a match made in heaven, and no other dish has conquered this combo better than Idli-Sambhar. What makes Idli and Sambhar a great combination is that the air-light idlis are low calorie, so you're not getting any fatter. Further, Sambhar is a nutrition powerhouse, being high in protein, fiber, antioxidants, detox value, and it is also easily digestible.
High in taste, low in calories: Dhokla
Steamed, light-on-stomach, Dhokla is another contender for the best Indian breakfast options. Made with gram flour, Dhokla is rich in fiber, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, folate, and Vitamin B6. What else can one ask for? And apart from the great health benefits listed, these juicy cubes taste so good, served with Kadi, and chatni, that one simply can't stop munching on them.
