Tea Unsweetened (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)) and Makhana (Haldiram's) (1 Serving)

Measure a smaller serving of makhana (for example, 1–2 cups popped) and avoid repeated refills.

Choose plain, dry-roasted makhana without added sugar, jaggery, honey, sweet seasonings, or sugary coating.

Have makhana alongside protein or healthy fat, such as a boiled egg, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or plain Greek yogurt.

Add fiber by pairing the snack with cucumber, tomato, or a small salad with lemon and unsweetened dressing.

Drink the unsweetened tea with or after the snack rather than using it as a reason to continue grazing on makhana.

Eat makhana after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach, and take a 10–15 minute easy walk afterward.
