A High-Protein, Diabetes-Friendly Evening Snack

When managing diabetes or working towards weight loss, the biggest challenge isn’t main meals — it’s snacks.

Evening cravings often lead to fried, refined, or high-carb options that spike blood sugar and increase calorie intake.

That’s where this Whole Green Moong & Methi Tikki becomes a game changer.

It’s protein-rich, fiber-loaded, low in unhealthy fats, and supports stable blood sugar levels — all while being delicious and satisfying.

Why This Tikki Is Perfect for Diabetes & Weight Management

🌱 Whole Green Moong

Moong beans are:

  • High in plant protein

  • Rich in fiber

  • Low glycemic index

  • Excellent for insulin sensitivity

They help prevent sudden blood sugar spikes and keep you fuller for longer.

🌿 Fresh Methi Leaves

Methi (fenugreek) is known for:

  • Supporting blood sugar control

  • Improving digestion

  • Reducing inflammation

  • Supporting metabolic balance

Together, these ingredients create a powerful combination for anyone managing Type 2 Diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, or PCOS.
