The month of Sawan is the perfect time for sattvik eating. If you're fasting, here are 7 nutritious, vrat-friendly foods that are easy to digest, delicious, and full of energy.
Sabudana is filled with carbs and perfect for khichdi, vada, or kheer. It keeps your stomach full and energy up during long fasting hours.

Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes. Boil, roast, or fry with rock salt for a satisfying snack rich in antioxidants.
Roasted in ghee or turned into kheer, makhana is low in calories and high in calcium. It's perfect for guilt-free fasting.

Seasonal fruits and nuts like almonds and dates offer fibre, vitamins, and natural sugar to boost your fast.
