If you're feeling the post festive slump (if the festivities can last a month, so can the slump) then we're here to help. We've curated a list of protein-packed snack recipes, some of which are quick and instant and some that you can whip up on a lazy weekend or a free afternoon so that next time you're feeling peckish after a tiring workout, you can safely reach for these.
Oatmeal jam bars
In the mood for a sweet treat but don't want junk? These homemade oatmeal jam bars and packed with the goodness of fresh fruit and a healthy dose of nutrients from the oatmeal.
Peanut ladoo
One of the most widely available (and IMO delicious) forms of protein, peanuts are a great post-workout option. And made with less than five ingredients, our ladoos will give you the glucose kick you need.
Oats bhel
For all you savoury snack fans out there, oats bhel makes for a quick and chatpata munchie that can even pass off as a chaat. What's not to like?
Sprouts salad

Oats, dates and nuts ladoos
