Creative combinations can also help you resist the urge to indulge in fried and sugary foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few healthy fasting options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Makhana\"><\/span><b>1. Makhana<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With its fun, light, and crunchy structure, it\u2019s no wonder why makhana is a fasting staple. Make makhana kheer or simply roast some in ghee and sendha namak, and you have the perfect, satisfying snack!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makhana mainly provides carbohydrates, along with some protein. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0304423819308817\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research on popped makhana has reported <\/span><b>about 9.5% protein<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep a bowl of roasted makhana handy for a quick snack between meals instead of packaged fried snacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Sweet_Potatoes\"><\/span><b>2. Sweet Potatoes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shakarkandi has a gentle sweetness and cosiness that adds to a vrat thali. It is easy to boil, roast, mash, or prepare a chaat by adding lemons and coriander with sendha namak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweet potatoes offer the beneficial carbs and fibre that can keep you full. Shakarkandi pairs well with boiled or roasted sweet potatoes along with yoghurt and is a good break from higher-oil preparations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Fresh_Fruits\"><\/span><b>3. Fresh Fruits<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fruit bowl with bright colours can liven up a vrat thali. Add bananas, apples, papaya, pomegranate, and other seasonal fruits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fruits provide fibre, vitamins, minerals and natural carbohydrates. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/healthy-diet\"><b>World Health Organisation recommends at least 400 g of fruits and vegetables per day<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for adults as part of a healthy diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If fruit alone leaves you hungry, pair it with yoghurt or a small handful of nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Yoghurt_and_Other_Dairy_Foods\"><\/span><b>4. Yoghurt and Other Dairy Foods<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dahi is refreshing, versatile and easy to pair with vrat foods. Have it with fruit, roasted makhana, boiled potatoes or samak rice. A bowl of yoghurt topped with fruit and nuts also works as a simple meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plain yoghurt provides protein and calcium. Milk and paneer may also fit into some fasting traditions. If you are lactose intolerant or avoid dairy, choose other suitable fasting foods instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Nuts_and_Seeds\"><\/span><b>5. Nuts and Seeds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small handful of almonds, walnuts, cashews or peanuts can be useful when there is a long gap between meals. Pumpkin or sunflower seeds may also work if your fasting tradition permits them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nuts and seeds provide healthy fats, some protein, fibre and micronutrients. Add them to fruit bowls, yoghurt or vrat sweets. Since they are calorie-dense, a small portion is usually enough. Choose plain or lightly roasted options over heavily salted or sugar-coated ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Samak_Rice\"><\/span><b>6. Samak Rice<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samak rice, or barnyard millet, is commonly used in place of regular grains during Indian fasts. Despite the name, it is not regular rice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cook it as a simple khichdi, pulao or khzeer. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0889157525010774\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A review of barnyard millet reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> around <\/span><b>10.5% protein and about 12.6% total dietary fibre<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in some samples, although values can vary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pair samak with yoghurt, peanuts or vrat-approved vegetables to make the meal more complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Coconut\"><\/span><b>7. Coconut<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh coconut adds texture and richness without much preparation. Add grated coconut to fruit bowls, sprinkle it over vrat dishes or use small pieces in homemade sweets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coconut water can also be refreshing if fluids are permitted during your fast, but it should complement regular water rather than replace it. Since fresh coconut is calorie-dense, moderate portions make sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Build_a_More_Balanced_Vrat_Thali\"><\/span><b>How to Build a More Balanced Vrat Thali<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of making your plate all carbs or all snacks, combine different foods so the meal feels more satisfying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple vrat thali could include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweet potato or samak rice for carbohydrates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoghurt, milk or nuts for some protein<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh fruit for fibre and micronutrients<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small serving of nuts or seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water or coconut water for hydration<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact combination will depend on your fasting customs and dietary needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Few_Things_to_Keep_in_Mind_While_Fasting\"><\/span><b>A Few Things to Keep in Mind While Fasting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your vrat permits eating during the day, avoid relying entirely on fried snacks and heavily sweetened foods. Eat according to your hunger and try not to follow long gaps with an excessively large meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay hydrated if your fasting practice allows fluids. People with medical conditions, pregnancy-related dietary needs or regular medicines should speak with a qualified healthcare professional before making major changes to their eating routine for a fast.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Janmashtami vrat can be festive without becoming a day of only fried aloo and mithai. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With festive vibes, add more colour, texture, and nutrition to your platter.
