Eat Healthy & Stay Fit with TBH

  Year 2020 is a year of surprises, with COVID 19 as one of the scariest disease affecting millions of people worldwide. 

This gave us a country wide lockdown, but also gave us a new perspective to live life in a way we could never thought possible. 

Health was one the the new year resolutions I took in the year 2020, and with the onset of COVID, I took a set back in terms of the physical activities which I could possibly do since we all needed to stay back at home to avoid getting infected or spread the disease. 

Being serious about the resolution I took, it was a time to adopt to what can be best done at home or in the confined society area to keep the physical activities running and also switching to more healthier meals at home. 

It was time to change the eating habits, what to eat ,when to eat and how much to eat,. 

Being a food lover, I would want to hog onto a lot of food, but then what to eat needed a decision with a lot of thought. 

Tea or coffee keeps me running through the day and some snacks with that seemed to be the best place to attack for switching to a healthier diet. 

This was the time to try out one of the products I had been following since a long time - To Be Honest Crunchies 

Crunchy Tomato  with Mint

A perfect candidate when you are on a road trip and feel the need to munch something while on the go.  

Slight lockdown ease, you can take your car for a spin, you are hungry on the way or want to munch as you listen to your favorite music station, TBH's crunchy tomato comes for your rescue !

Staying in Mumbai where Lonavala could be an easily accessible vacation spot, we usually plan for a day trip buzzing through the well laid express way and famous ghat sections along with multiple tunnels on the way. 

Due to the monotonous lengthy expressway where the vehicles are in complete harmony with the lanes on the highway, we often feel a need of munching to stay lively, and when this happens we would usually resort to a packet of chips or similar fried snack. When ever we do that, we think, can we try something healthy instead ?

With the perfect blend of Mint, Cumin, Coriander and chilly,  Crunchy Tomato adds the perfect tanginess in the tomato which is vacuum cooked. Every slice of the tomato gives the perfect flavor and aroma of herbs which you would need for your taste buds to enjoy this as any other savory item. 

For those of you who are health conscious, here is what you get in plenty with every bite - Dietary Fibre, Carbs, Protein, Vitamin B9, Vitamin C and Sodium. 

We did enjoy the product as a family, you should try out too and post a feedback about my blog in the comments section.

Golden Sweet Potato with Peri Peri 

An after meal spicy thought

You had your meal, you still have a craving, what you should do? that is the time to have Golden Sweet Potato which is light yet spicy to satisfy your craving taste buds. 

Lazy weekends and even weekdays during COVID times, gives an ample time to have an extended lunch time from a lunch as fast as a Mumbai Local. 

I do get these cravings to eat extra if I have time, something as a final course to top off the lunch. Golden sweet potato seems the right choice with its perfectly blended peri peri masala and calculated amount of salt. 

There was though some pungent aroma of mustard oil which should be reduced to a certain extent to enjoy it beyond anyone would do now. 

Nutritional value which includes a good amount of Sodium, protein, carbs and dietary fiber makes it a healthy yet valuable meal after the traditional lunch. 

Herbed Taro with Oregano and Basil

For those late night pizza cravers during your favorite Netflix show.

Often the dinner time is not fixed nor the time between the dinner and sleep. In this online mode of culture adopted due to COVID, on demand channels like Netflix and Amazon prime were astonishingly popular which overtakes your sleep and makes you night crawlers while watching episodes back to back. 

You may never know how much you eat while watching your favorite series, being mindful of what you eat can make sure your health is not impacted. Almost 99% of the world population likes to have pizza, and for a late night craving, Pizza can be the best meal or maybe its time to open Herbed Taro. 

with the perfect blend of Oregano and Basil. the moment you open the packet, you'll feel your favorite pizza guy is knocking the door. A very light snack compared to a wholesome pizza fills the spot right in and you can eat loads of it without worrying the impact it may cause to your health. 

On the flipside though and as a word of caution  the taste maybe too subtle as it feels more American than Indian. 

Spiced Okra with Coriander

How about a crispy salad during your lunch?

You don't like Okra, never mind, we have now Okra available in a crispier avatar which everyone would love. 

With the right amount of dietary fiber, Carbs, Vitamin A, K and Sodium which gives your body the right amount of nutrients. 

A perfect meal along with your lunch or maybe dinner makes your meal more full with an added course of crispy food

with the goodness of coriander. Okra picked up and Vacuum cooked is in the perfect shape with no broken pieces makes it wholesome. 

On the flipside, there is a sizeable amount of oil aroma that creeps in and the flavor in itself may be too light for you to try this out as a standalone snack and a substitute would be needed.
