National Nutrition Week 2021: Try These 5 Easy Nutritious Indian Snacks For Guilt-Free Munching - NDTV Food

Each year, we celebrate National Nutrition Week from 1st - 7th September to raise awareness about nutritious food and its benefits for a healthier lifestyle. It's no secret that our sedative lifestyles and the easy 'order-in' culture have made us turn a blind eye to our health and body. The nutrition week comes around just the right time when festivities have recently started in the country and we have much higher chances of letting loose in the coming months than ever before.

But, if you think we are asking you to sit with a bowl of salad while others munch on samosas and jalebis, worry not, because we are asking you to do quite the opposite of that. What we have here is a list of various Indian snacks that are delicious, nutritious and you can munch on them guilt-free any day of the year. Interested to know which ones make the list? Read on.
