Ready to eat healthy snacks that aren't too expensive ? Cant cook most of the time because of various reasons and end up eating biscuit / cakes/ namkeen etc that are too bad for my health ? Are you aware of some products that are ready to eat , not bad for the health and not too expensive either ( all products marketed as "healthy" from new age start-ups are very expensive for some reason )

Can add them all in a cup + powdered jaggery.

Can also add roasted sesame, toasted flax, sprouted moong, fresh/desiccated coconut powder, murmura/pori

Protein rich, no artificial sweeteners or preservatives and costs a fraction of exotic snacks like oats or muesli that are sold for inflated prices.

aap, hum tou vegetarian options ki hee baat karenge, but once..
DealSeeker had to say this https://desidime.com/searches/full-of-protein-they-are about jhingur/ crickets, maggots and so on.
(He was indulging in light-hearted banter only. his views about animal cruelty, shared here and elsewhere make his stance clear.)

For rest, @quantum and «cough» «cough» 'others' have already shared healthy, safe and (sort of) easy to make/ easy to get .. options in a previous topic https://desidime.com/discussions/what-snacks-to-eat-when-hungry which too can be referred.


dou चुटकी sindoor ki keemat angootha-chhaap, anpadh hone ki vyatha, tum kya jaano @bikidas2060 babu!
I tore my hair apart, trying to locate the earlier topic on https://desidime.com/searches/poha custom searches https://desidime.com/searches/upma.
MUCH later it dawned upon me that it is @malikcool and not @bikidas2060 who made the comment.

I am one of those illiterate who might be sold ANY blue colour plastic bottle, in the name of Parachute oil.

Not that it has not happened at other times too.

But in the snacks thread.. both your comments are almost consecutive.

All that my tiny 🧠 registered.. is..
India flag in profile picture: posted about poha, upma!

Likewise, in jio wired internet versus Jio scamtellite internet thread too
this rushed brain totally broke!
It took me good 30 seconds (including scrolling up and down) to realise that although the comment was same, it was made by two different peepal (both using a similar avataar).

roasted chana, roasted almond, roasted peanuts, raisins and puffed rice. Keep them separately and mix only at the time you have them. While mixing, add sliced/diced onion, tomato, cucumber, ginger and add freshly ground black pepper. You can also roast cumin seeds, powder them and keep them for sprinkling on top.

Get Sattu. Put water, lemon and salt and it's ready to drink. Super healthy drink.

Other I like is Salted pista, dates.

1. *Roasted Chickpeas (Chana)*: High in protein and fiber, roasted chickpeas are a crunchy and satisfying snack.

3. *Khakhra*: These crispy, thin crackers made from whole wheat or millet are a healthier alternative to chips.

4. *Bhel Puri*: A mix of puffed rice, vegetables, and chutneys, bhel puri is a light and flavorful snack.

5. *Steamed Idli*: Made from fermented rice and lentil batter, idlis are low in calories and easy to digest.

7. *Cucumber Slices with Chaat Masala*: Simple yet tasty, cucumber slices sprinkled with chaat masala are hydrating and low in calories.

8. *Fruit Chaat*: A mix of seasonal fruits with a dash of chaat masala and lemon juice.
