Naturally packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats, folate, and antioxidants, eating peanuts helps regulate blood sugar levels and keep you energised during chilly evenings, as per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9011914\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NCBI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose dry-roasted peanuts instead of salted ones to avoid sodium excess. You can also opt for peanut chikki made with jaggery as a wholesome festive treat that provides energy and satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Golden_Bites_of_Atta_Laddoo\"><\/span><b>2.

This Lohri treat is made with whole wheat flour, ghee, and jaggery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atta laddoos provide warmth, iron, healthy fats, and sustained energy. Enhance their crunch and nutritional value by adding roasted nuts and seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Classic_Popcorn\"><\/span><b>3. The Classic Popcorn<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light, crunchy, and surprisingly healthy, popcorn is a whole grain snack to enjoy this Lohri. It is loaded with fibre and antioxidants. Eat it to stay full for longer and prevent overeating during long festive evenings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But hey, skip the butter overload.
