12 Healthy Snack Options India for Daily Cravings

3. Sprouted Moong Salad

Sprouted moong turns a simple bowl into a nutrient-dense snack that fits lunchboxes and evening cravings equally well. Sprouting improves digestibility and increases available vitamins, and the tender sprouts pair nicely with diced cucumber, tomato, chopped coriander, and a squeeze of lime. A simple dressing of lemon, a pinch of salt, and roasted cumin keeps the flavor bright while letting the sprouts shine. You can add in chopped raw carrots or a spoon of grated coconut for texture and sweetness. Sprouts are quick to make at home: rinse mung beans, leave them in a damp cloth or jar for 24–48 hours, and rinse twice daily until tails appear. Keep sprouted moong chilled and consume within two to three days for best freshness. This salad works as an energy-boosting snack after a walk or as a light pre-meal bite—its combination of plant protein and fiber helps steady hunger without slowing you down.
