Dry Fruits & Nuts: Tiny Powerhouses of Nutrition
A small handful of nuts and dry fruits is one of the healthiest snacks you can choose. Here is what they offer.
Almonds, walnuts, cashews, dates and raisins are tiny but mighty. A small handful delivers healthy fats, protein, fibre and minerals — a far better snack than biscuits or fried namkeen.

- Walnuts — omega-3 for heart and brain.

- Cashews & pista — protein and minerals.
Keep the portion small
Nuts are nutrient-dense, which also means calorie-dense. A small handful a day is perfect — enough to nourish without overdoing it.
A natural energy boost
Add dry fruits to a shake or enjoy them on their own. They pair perfectly with a Dream Lunch badam or banana shake for a wholesome energy lift.
