Here’s why fitness experts think poha is the best breakfast you can opt for

“Poha is a popular Indian breakfast which is made with beaten rice. It’s a wholesome meal and is a good source of carbohydrates, iron, loaded with fibre, a good source of antioxidants and essential vitamins and is gluten-free. In order to make it protein rich, one can add pulses and legumes. It’s a great choice for breakfast as well as a mid-day snack since it has low glycemic carbs. This will further compliment weight loss since there is no insulin spike,” said a lead nutritionist.

“Starting your day with poha is a good option as it loads you up with carbs. In addition, you can add peanuts to it, some other vegetables. Potato is a not a good option if you’re looking at losing weight. Onion and coconut can also be added since coconut is known to have natural fat,” she added. The best thing about poha is that it’s easily digestible which means it’s light on the stomach and doesn’t make you feel bloated. Well, looks like it’s poha to the rescue.
