The festival of Diwali is considered not only of lights and happiness but also of sweets. A lot of sweets are eaten at this time. However, during this period, packed sweets and deep fried snacks available in the market can become a cause of concern for our health. In such a situation, let us tell you today which sweets and snacks you can use to take care of both taste and health this Diwali.

Boondi laddus from the market or gram flour laddus at home

Boondi laddus available in the market are often made of refined sugar, cheap oil and synthetic colours. The special thing is that 1 kg boondi laddu contains about 700 grams of sugar. In such a situation, experts suggest that instead of buying Bundi laddus from the market, make gram flour laddus at home, which have A.2 Ghee and organic jaggery should be used. These home made laddus are not only delicious but are also considered beneficial for health.

Packaged Soan Papdi or Barfi boxes

On Diwali, every house has a box of Soan Papdi and Barfi, but these contain high amounts of refined sugar. Instead, experts suggest pistachio and rose coconut bites, which can be prepared from puree. These sweets are not only light but also full of nutrition.

Deep Fried Salted or Roasted Nuts and Seed Mix

During festivals, namkeens are served to guests which are often deep fried and loaded with preservatives. Regarding this, experts say that instead of namkeen, you can serve a mixture of roasted nuts and seeds on Diwali. This healthy snack is beneficial for both children and elderly and does not harm health.

Fancy Gift Hampers or Healthy Wellness Baskets

Diwali gifts often include chocolate boxes and packaged sweets. However, it is not beneficial for health. In such a situation, this Diwali you can prepare a healthy wellness basket, which includes blueberries, avocado, dragon fruit and 85 percent dark chocolate. This gift will not only look good but will also be good for health.
