Do away with the notion that low-fat is always better than full-fat! The fact is that full-fat curd, made by fermenting milk, is far healthier than low-fat curd. It has an ample dose of good protein, which is especially good for vegetarians.

Add to this calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamins B2 and B12, and you get nothing short of a treasure-trove of nutrients. With a dash of unsweetened cocoa powder and organic honey, chilled full-fat curds transform into a super-duper snack. Honey, which is always better than sugar, gives the curds a very pleasant sweetness.

We suggest you have a complete cup of Greek yoghurt or yoghurt with cocoa powder from which you can get 9.6 grams of protein . This is awesome for vegetarians who want to increase their protein intake. Carbs will be 17.6 grams and healthy fat of 14.4 grams. So enjoy this as a healthy snack in the evening or even carry this to work. 

Apart from being an excellent food for athletes, Greek yoghurt with cocoa powder and honey is also an apt snack for weight loss, as it keeps you full with good fats instead of bad fats like in French Fries! Indulge in a treat that is so tasty that you almost forget it is so good for you!

Other good dips and snacks to have are Homemade Peanut Butter, Broccoli-and Bajra Snack, Flax Seeds with Curd and Honey and Homemade Almond Butter.

I have this often as a snack in the morning at work as it has all the good fat and proteins from curd. Organic honey is a great choice over regular honey and sugar. The unsweetened chocolate takes care of my chocolate cravings. Thanks.
