April is upon us and as the mercury soars, its time to find clever ways to stay cool and healthy. Today, I’m sharing with you a recipe that’s been a staple in my family for generations – Ragi Puffs. This isn’t just any summer munching snacks but a healthy and rich source of protein for kids and eders; it's a nutritious powerhouse that has been nurturing my family through the scorching heat with its cooling properties.

Adding soy foods like tofu, tempeh, and edamame to your diet boosts plant-based protein intake, supports heart health with low saturated fat, and enhances fiber intake for a healthy digestive system. Soy also provides essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a versatile choice for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Embrace a balanced diet with lean proteins, colorful fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals, fiber-rich foods for digestion, and energy-boosting carbohydrates and healthy fats. These elements work together to support growth, maintain a strong immune system, and keep you energized and healthy.

Food significantly impacts mood and mindset, with hunger often leading to irritability and satisfaction from favorite foods promoting happiness. Healthy snacking can boost mood and metabolism, with options like nutrient-rich makhana, flavorful puffs, and protein-packed soya chunks offering guilt-free enjoyment.

Jawar puffs offer a perfect blend of nutrition and convenience, rich in complex carbohydrates, protein, and antioxidants. Rooted in both modern nutritional science and Ayurvedic principles, they support digestion, immunity, and overall health, making them an ideal snack for health-conscious individuals.

Protein is essential for repairing tissues and supporting growth, with daily needs varying by weight and activity level. Adults should aim for 0.83 grams per kilogram of body weight, about 56 grams for men and 46 grams for women. Kiros' mini soya chunks offer a tasty, healthy snack to help meet these protein needs.
