Cucumbers, curd and chips: Soha Ali Khan shares a quick, crunchy and hydrating snack

Healthy snacking isn’t always as healthy as it seems, especially with busy schedules. In our everyday rush between work, running errands and managing personal responsibilities, we have little time to prepare nutritious meals. So, when hunger strikes at odd hours, we do not think twice before reaching out for packaged foods, sugary treats or other junk options. While they are convenient for sure, they serve little to no nutritional value. But actress and wellness expert Soha Ali Khan seems to have found a solution.

Soha, in her latest Instagram entry, shared the recipe for a quick, easy, hydrating and refreshing snack, cucumber boats that you can enjoy anytime of the day without worrying about unnecessary calories or compromising on nutrition. What’s more, it takes only 3 basic kitchen ingredients to prepare: cucumbers, curd and chips.

Soha Ali Khan’s vegetarian oats recipe

Previously, Soha made our mornings easier by sharing the recipe for vegetarian oats. According to the actress, protein plays an essential role in preserving muscle mass, physical strength, bone density, immune function, and overall healthy ageing.

The preparation requires adding the oats to a pan with water or plant-based milk and cooking on low heat for 3–5 minutes, until soft, before letting it cool off slightly. Then you have to stir pea protein powder slowly until smooth before mixing it with hemp, chia, and flax seeds, topped with berries, chopped walnuts and cinnamon.
