Homemade Poha - Poha (1 cupcooked)

Reduce the poha portion and add more non-starchy vegetables such as peas, spinach, beans, capsicum, cabbage, and carrots.

Include a protein source with the meal, such as eggs, paneer, tofu, or unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Add healthy fats and fiber: top poha with peanuts, almonds, chia seeds, or flaxseed.

Avoid adding potatoes, sugar, sweet chutneys, sev, or sweetened drinks; use lemon, coriander, green chilli, and spices for flavor instead.

Eat the poha slowly and start the meal with vegetables or protein rather than eating poha alone.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
