Holi is honestly my favourite time of the year. The weather is perfect, spring is all around, and to top it all off, it's hard not to talk about all the amazing food that mom makes at home. All the home cookes gujias, and tasty fried snacks can end up making you feel guilty and ruin your weight loss progress and worst of all not let you enjoy you the most amazing festival in my opinion.

Top 9 Healthy Holi Recipes You Must Try

To help you and your weight loss plans this holi, let me share with you my secret for making the best of holi every year without feeling bad about my goals. We will give you 9 amazing healthy holi recipies which are so so easy to cook and at the same time hit the spot.

1. Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Don’t have normal deep-fried chips leaking with oil when you can have equally tasty and crunchy baked sweet potato chips. Sweet potatoes have a lot of fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants. Simply slice them thin, put a little olive oil on top, and bake in the oven till they become crispy. It's one of my favourite healthy snacks for Holi that is crunchy, tasty and most importantly, guilt-free.

2. Sprouts Chaat

Sprouts have the maximum amount of nutrition. Mix them with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and some lemon juice. Sprinkle some chaat masala and roasted cumin powder on top to make it smell and taste even better. This chaat is light and absolutely perfect for Holi parties when people are coming over.

3. Quinoa Poha

Don’t have the normal poha, use quinoa to put more protein in there and make it even healthier. Cook quinoa with mustard seeds, curry leaves, turmeric, and peanuts. Add some carrots and peas for extra veggies and nutrients. This healthy Holi snack is not just filling but also keeps your energy levels high to dance and win all water ball fights.

4. Healthy Gujiya Recipe

No Holi celebration is complete without having tasted homemade gujiya. But instead of the full-of-sugar, deep-fried version, try this healthy gujiya recipe. Use whole wheat flour for the outer covering, and fill it with a mixture of jaggery, nuts, and seeds. Bake them instead of frying them, and you can hace as many as you want without feeling bad at all.

5. Avocado Mint Chutney

Avocado is an absolutely amazing way to get some healthy fats. Blend it with mint, coriander, green chillies, and some lemon to make a refreshing chutney. This dip is great with other baked snacks. It also has a beautiful green bright colour to match the holi vibe.

6. Ragi Cookies

Ragi is a gluten-free grain with lots of calcium and iron. Make cookies using ragi flour, honey, and some really little cardamom. These cookies are not only healthy but also satisfy your sweet cravings during Holi.

7. Cucumber and Pomegranate Raita

This cooling raita is my favourite to go along with all the other Holi snacks. Use low-fat yoghurt and add finely chopped cucumbers and some pomegranate seeds. The antioxidants in pomegranate make this raita so healthy.

8. Oats and Nuts Ladoo

Ladoos are what we think of when we think of festivals, but they’re usually so full of sugar and ghee that you don’t even want to look at them if you are trying to lose weight.

This healthy Holi recipe uses oats, jaggery, and a mix of nuts like almonds and walnuts. These ladoos have fibre and only healthy fats, which is why they are amazing for fat loss.

9. Beetroot and Carrot Tikki

These colourful tikkis are made with grated beetroot, carrots, and oats. Shallow fry or bake them to make them crunchy and crispy. Serve with mint chutney for a banger and a healthy Holi snack that looks mouthwatering and tastes amazing as well.
