Evening hunger usually means oily snacks as the cravings hit. But, not always, these easy evening bites are light, protein-rich and enjoyable enough without making you feel overly stuffed before dinner or post-workout routines.
Toss some roasted makhana with onions, tomatoes, lemon juice and chaat masala to make a crunchy, light munching snack that feels perfect for low-calorie evening snacking.
Top the cucumber slices with spiced paneer crumble and some black pepper. These protein-rich snack bites feel refreshing, filling and perfect for gym-goers who need quick evening fuel.
Spread the seasoned hung curd on toasted whole wheat bread with some chopped vegetables. It feels creamy, lighter, guilt-free snack option.
Mix the boiled chickpeas with some chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander and lemon juice. This fibre-rich snack keeps hunger at bay for a longer time, and you also don't end up snacking on junk.
Sauté some corn and paneer with pepper and seasonings such as black pepper, oregano, etc. The assortment gives balanced carbs and protein in one go, making it a suitable snack before evening walks or heading to workouts.
Whisk some curd with herbs and spices, then pair it with carrot or cucumber sticks. It feels cooling, crunchy and lighter than any snacks.
