Healthier Food Options: New Menu for Guilt-Free Indulgence
Some of your favorite foods are getting a makeover to be healthier!
Chefs and bakers are making versions of biryani, chocolate, cheesecake, ice cream and rosogolla that are good for you.
For example, you can now eat biryani made with special rice and vegetables, or enjoy chocolate made without sugar.
They use healthy ingredients like stevia instead of sugar, and use things like oat base or almond to replace wheat or sugar in cheesecakes.
This way, people watching their weight or with diabetes can still enjoy treats.
Health-conscious foodies can now indulge in reimagined, healthier versions of traditionally 'unhealthy' foods.
Oudh 1590 launched Diabetic-Friendly Biryani, using parboiled rice, sweet potatoes, and soya chunks.
Ditch the Guilt offers 100% sugar-free, keto-friendly, antioxidant-rich chocolates made from Wayanad cacao.
Bakeries like Ovenly and Bake My Wishes offer low-sugar, gluten-free, and vegan cheesecakes.
