All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! Well, in today's time it applies to each one of us. No matter how much one loves to work or is adapted to the working environment, a day or two is needed to take the much needed sigh of relief with deep and slow breaths. One does yearn to spend the weekend with family, friends and sometimes in solitary with nature's serenity for company. On such occasions we tend to let our diet go on a vacation too! That's all ok but later when the snooze mode is over it gets difficult to walk back on the nutritious path. A binge let me tell you doesn't stay a binge - it occupies a huge space in your taste buds for a long -long time.
However, have you given a thought on making these picnic /vacation snacks and binge in a healthy manner?
Well, no blame is on you because the team at Tassyam understands the hectic schedules you are surrounded with.
Hence, the Tassyam team have come up with healthy yet mouth watering snacks and munchies to pamper your cravings.
Let's begin with a refreshing drink.
Most of the time we tend to grab aerated drinks which often cause harm to our teeth and throat. It has too much of sugar which isn’t good for our health too!
Thus, Tassyam brings to you Lemon Powder to satisfy your craving to have something cooling and refreshing.
All you have to do is grab a jug with chilled water or soda for a fizz, add spoonfuls of Tassyam's lemon powder and there you go! It's ready to infuse a gush of energy to kick start the vacation mode for you.
If you have a sweet tooth you can drizzle Tassyam's Wild Multiflora Honey which again is a super healthy alternative for sugar.
For munchies - Tassyam brings to you their fantastic MUESLI.
What is Muesli?
Muesli is a breakfast and brunch dish that consists of raw rolled oats and other ingredients like grains, fresh or dried fruits, seeds and nuts, that may be mixed with milk or eaten in its dry form.
Muesli is extremely healthy!
1) Apart from being known as diabetic friendly food, it is a good source of omega-3-fatty acids since it has a lot of nuts and seeds. Omega-3-fatty acids not only cater to healthy eyes but also give glowing skin and protect from heart diseases.
