Red Poha (24 Mantra) (1 Serving)

Reduce the red poha portion and add plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, capsicum, mushrooms, tomato, or cucumber.

Pair red poha with a protein source, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, paneer, or unsweetened soy yogurt.

Add healthy fats and fiber: mix in chia seeds, flaxseed, peanuts, almonds, or walnuts, while keeping quantities moderate.

Avoid adding sugar, jaggery, sweet chutneys, potatoes, or sweetened drinks alongside the poha; choose water, unsweetened tea, or buttermilk instead.

Eat the poha after or alongside a salad or vegetable starter rather than eating it alone on an empty stomach.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the meal, if medically appropriate, to help blunt the post-meal rise.
