Winter is coming!


Started preparing for the season of thandi thandi hawa aur ek cup kadak chai? Yes, we’re talking about winter, beloved by some and despised by some, but the adrak wali chai remains a favourite for all, right?


Winters can make it a tad bit harder to follow a healthy lifestyle and keep our hands off of sweet and savoury foods because that’s what our body craves in this season to keep us warm and going. 


But if you have found yourself thinking about ways you can have delicious snacks with your evening tea, all while still keeping it healthy, you have come to the right place. Read on to find out about healthy winter snacks, which are also tasty! 


Healthy winter snacks to have with your tea:


Makhana:

Oh, these small white popcorn-like nuts are super healthy and delicious. Don’t go on their size; they are small but are a powerhouse of nutrients like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, protein, fibre and much more.

Khakhra:
