 So, we have got you three snack box ideas to make and serve to your friends who are on a fast.

Though, we have tried to make the perfect combination of snack boxes for your guests, but different people have their own customs and rules when it comes to following fasts. While the main ingredients in these recipes are generally vrat approved, but you can innovate and tweak it in your own vrat-way and of course that is the most fun part about cooking!
