Weightloss recipes: My 4 Instant & Calorie-Free Snacks

I am a fitness conscious person and nowadays focussing on fitness & weightloss on my blog too under #superbloggerchallenge . The first good thing happened to me during this participation is that I started having green tea . It’s been only few days but I am loving it . Another good thing is that I am trying my hands on some weightloss recipes which can be healthy calorie-free snacks .

Here are some of the weightloss and calorie-free recipes which are nutritious , yummy and can be cooked instantly in minutes .


Quick Masala Idli

When it comes to healthy snacking and weightloss , Idlis are the prefernce .Made from Suji and curd , enhanced with various veggies is a delicious low calorie breakfast recipe which is very light on your stomach , and adding almost nil calories to your body . Idli does not contain any fat or cholesterol. And the best part is that it is a quick recipe .

Add Suji, curd , pinch of salt , and finally eno just before keeping the container in microwave . You just have to microwave for three minutes and Idlis are ready . Take them out and in a separate pan , make a tadka of onion ,green pepper , tomato and other seasonal veggies . Add the ready Idlis , mix well and then serve by garnishing with coriander .

I tried an even quicker version of the Masala Idli recipe . I mixed Suji, curd , all veggies , cheese , coriander , salt , green pepper, red pepper , all together in a container and microwaved it . Simple Idlis get ready in three minutes in microwave but this mixture with all veggies took double the time to be cooked up . But the final taste was just awesome . I loved it . I didn’t have to prepare any extra tadka and so even the very little oil used for tadka could be avoided . The dish became healthier . Isn’t it ? This form of Idli can be one of your daily recipes for weightloss and being healthy.

Date with Oats

Let’s go on a romantic date with Oats !!

Oats are very high in fibre , hence helpful to reduce constipation. They are gluten free and are a good source of important vitamins , minerals and antioxidants . Oatmeals are very fulfilling and act as a help if you want to lose weight .

I made healthy Oats ladoos . The recipe is an instant one and very nutritious . Can you imagine ladoos without oil /ghee or flour ? Yes they do exist ! Here is how you can use oats for your good health .

Recipe of ‘Date with Oats’ :-

Take 100 gms Oats , Grind them , keep aside . Now take 100 gms seedless dates (khajoor ) , also Grind them and keep aside . Take 50 gm nuts of your choice (peanut ,walnut or cashewnut), grind them separately . Now take a bowl , mix all the grinded ingredients , add a spoonful of honey and a spoonful of peanut butter. Mix it well and roll the mixture into laddoos .( You can add some flexseeds also if you wish )

The ladoos are so filling that a glass of milk taken with an oats laddoo can serve as a filling low calorie breakfast or you can it have for your calorie free dinner.

PeaChana Masala

Roasted Chana and Peanuts are a great source of energy . Roasted or Bhuna Chana is high in fiber , iron and is very low on calorie . It acts as a good friend in your weightloss journey as it keeps you full for longer . Bhuna chana has the power to regulate blood sugar level also and keep your digestive system happy . Peanuts are very high in protein and very less in carbs . Peanuts are also high in vitamin E .

Recipe for PeaChana Masala :-

Here is a healthy , yummy and instant weighloss snack recipe which got many applauds at my home . Take Roasted chana 50 gm , roasted peanuts 50gm in a container and add chopped onions and tomatoes . Add green chilli , salt , black pepper as per taste and top up the mixture with lemon juice and pinch of chaat masala . Transfer the mixture into a plate and serve the tangy chaat with love . If you wish you can add small cheese cubes or any bhujia also into the mixture . I didn’t add cheese into the chaat , rather decorated cheese cubes along the circumference .

You can have try this instant diet/weightloss recipe with your evening tea or when some guests are there at home all of a sudden .

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silver Lined Mommy' 

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember how i  had to bear my daughter

Education 5E Model : Which are the most important Es ?

Hi ! My name is Monika and  I am a teacher . I am working in the field of Education or should I say the field of Teaching-Learning for the last 18 years . My Basic educational qualification is Bachelor of Science (Mathematics  & Physics as the main subjects ) followed by Masters in Physics . So I have been teaching these two subjects for the last so many years . I have spent more years teaching Mathematics than Physics . When we talk of Teaching-Learning or Education  , there are many theories and approaches  available. One of them is constructivist approach to learning . It  focuses on the principle that Knowledge must be constructed and not just transmitted. Unlike Traditional approach in the classroom , Constructivist approach focuses that the teacher poses problems and questions for the students . The students themselves try to find the solutions based on their prior learning . All this promotes curiosity and creativity among the students. I have often used the constructivist
