Discover festive recipes, smart swaps, and tips for enjoying the season gluten-free.
The festive season is all about enjoyment, full of energy and positivity.
And the food is an inseparable part of it. We just can't think of enjoyment without proper food. Just like the dress code, proper foods are required to make it more enjoyable. But, when it's about the festive time, we always neglect our health a lot, which is not desirable. When it’s the festive mood, we hardly care what or how we have food.
We tend to consume a lot of gluten-added products in the form of cakes, bread, pizza, and pasta; as a result, some problems may arise in the long run. Therefore, we should switch to gluten-free products at the festivals and in our daily diet to avoid so many problems like indigestion, obesity, high BP, and even heart disease. So, let’s look at how you can go gluten-free during this festival.
Chia seed pudding is a great gluten-free choice to start your day.
Chia seeds are loaded with nutrition and have a long list of benefits. Therefore, it can be a healthy dietary option for most of us. However, eating a huge amount on the first day may cause side effects. Therefore, you can start with one ounce to check whether your body is taking it in the right way.
Add a cup of yoghurt, half a teaspoon of vanilla essence, and fruits according to your choice. Let them sit in a bowl overnight so that you can have them as your first meal.
Festivals are incomplete without cakes and pastries.
If you are asked to go gluten-free, does it mean you have to skip cakes and pastries in the festive season? Thankfully, no. You can easily skip the all-purpose flour with the gluten-free flour available in the market. Non-dairy milk would also be perfect for your cake. And the best part is that you don’t need to compromise on the taste of your gluten-free cake.
So, you can give these a try in the coming festive months, and don't forget to share your experience.
