An unusual healthy breakfast treat or a snack for the kiddos after school. This treat is completely refined sugar free, gluten free, and diary free. As a Metabolic Balance Coach, I am always looking for recipes that are easier and also made as per the rules of Metabolic Balance.
I love this one as it is sugar free and it reminds me of the warm gajjar aka carrots halwa or a dudhi aka bottle gourd halwa that I grew up eating in India on special occasions. I can have this one guilt-free as a breakfast option or even a snack should I wish.
The fibre keeps the glycemic load low and keep the gut happy. The healthy bowl of this halwa is sure to keep you satiated till your next meal.
Love the simple ingredients and it is quick and easy and nutritious.
