Weight Loss: 5 Vegetarian Weight-Loss Friendly Snacks For Office

Picture this. You have had an exceptionally healthy breakfast. You also downed a tumbler of detox water before stepping out of home. Now that you have started a day on a healthy note and you are hoping to keep the momentum strong until you reach office and suddenly you see your colleague ordering some samosas. You try your best to not cave, but ultimately you see yourself bingeing chomping some samosas exactly half an hour later. Sounds familiar? We agree it is difficult to eat clean and healthy at office, especially when there are so many options around to lure. But if you are willing to try, there are plenty of ways in which you can make 'snacking' a healthy affair. 

Here Are 5 Vegetarian Weight-Loss Friendly Snacks You Can Pack For Office: 

1. Mixed Corn Sprouts Chaat

You can make sprouts more fun by adding fresh veggies and herbs of your choice. In this mixed sprouts chaat, you will find the goodness of corns, mixed sprouts, onion, tomato, coriander chutney, cumin powder, red chilli powder and pomegranate seeds. Fresh and flavourful, this weight-loss-friendly snack is sure to brighten up your day.
