Is Nutella Healthy?
  • Nutella is marketed as a breakfast food, the smartest way to use it is in moderation as a dessert spread.
  • If you are a fan of Nutella, it’s okay to enjoy a small amount of it from time to time. Do not use it regularly. 
  • However, don’t be fooled into thinking that it makes a healthy addition to your diet or your kid’s toast or sandwich, no matter what advertisements may suggest. You can give 2-3 tablespoons to your child but once in a week or twice in a month.
Take Away:
Because Nutella is high in sugar and calories, it should be used more as a dessert than as a breakfast spread. If you eat it, eat it in moderation.

Thank You!

Blog91: Desi Protein Powder "Sattu"

It's ironic but there are some foods off our radar because they are easily available and inexpensive. For some reason, health is now an expensive proposition. Or perhaps we expect that we need to pay a lot to be healthy. A case in point is expensive protein powders that we order online when the solution really lies in our backyards. Sattu, a flour made up of roasted Bengal gram (and sometimes a bit of barley), is available around the corner. It's considered "poor man's food" as it is popular among those who do manual labour. One of the biggest benefits of this wonderful food is that it makes you immensely robust. Eating sattu in breakfast gives you a boost of protein before you begin the day.
