Rattalu Sabudana Ki Tikkiyan

Sweet potatoes are loaded with Vitamin B6, C and D, iron, zinc and magnesium. They provide you with plenty of fibre and energy.

Date and Nut Rolls

One of the many physical benefits of eating dates during a fast is that our body benefits from the date's high level of natural sugars. Sugars travel most quickly to the liver, where they are converted into energy more quickly than any other nutrient. You can try this delicious date and rice kheer or alternatively these sweet rolls made with crunchy nuts and dates – absolutely no sugar too!

Muesli / Rajgira with Chia Seeds

Muesli for one is a healthy ingredient; mix it along with other super foods like chia seeds, sweetened hung yogurt, and nuts, berries and fruits of your choice. An energizing, healthy, fibrous, tasty and crunchy snack/ dessert is ready. If your fast doesn’t allow you to eat muesli you can easily replace it with popped rajgira – it will still be super high on energy and tasty too!
