Healthy Alternatives To Bhang

Being a spring festival, Holi requires cooling beverages to consume in the balmy weather and humidity. Although many people consume bhang, the nature of its risky effects and intoxicating potential is detrimental to safety and health.

Ensuring that the host and guest stay fresh throughout the festivities is easier with these healthy alternatives to bhang. Some are tropical, some are conventional, but they are all nourishing and fulfilling.

Milkshakes

This one is sure to be popular with the children and adults too. Make it with rose flavour, milk, saffron, sugar, cashew paste, and almond paste. This nutritious drink is tasteful and can be had by pregnant women too.

Aam Panna

This beverage is easy to make and requires green mangoes. Boil the fruit; add roasted ground cumin seeds, sugar, salt, mint leaves, red chilli powder, and crushed ice. It was originally prepared in North India and is sweet and sour and immensely refreshing.

Jal Jeera

For those with a taste for added spice, this is the perfect drink. It gets its tangy essence from the black salt used to make it. Alternately, chaat masala can be added. The other ingredients are ginger, pepper, cumin powder, mint leaves, and amchur.

Lassi

The classic cooling beverage requires yoghurt mixed with water, with sugar and salt to taste. Cumin seeds are roasted and powdered and added for spiced lassi, while the sweeter version is made along with fruits like mango, strawberry, and others.

Kanji

Its ingredients are mustard seeds, beetroot, carrots, and water. Boondi is used as garnish for this drink, which is healthy for cardiac patients, thanks to the betaine of the beetroot. Let your menu have an amazingly healthy choice this time.

Nimbu Paani

Traditional and tasty, it needs lemon extract, chilled water, sugar, and mint to garnish. Make it a little different by adding a little ginger extract. This drink which can be had by all people, without concerns of age or health conditions, can also be enhanced with a pinch of pepper dust or salt.

Orange Fizzle

Add strawberry crush into a glass of crushed ice. Follow it with soda and orange juice and place a wedge of lemon to garnish it. This elegant drink is a stylish mocktail to serve to your guest and drink yourself.

Raspberry Lemonade

Bring this colourful drink to the table and delight the children with its vibrant contents. This flavourful beverage is quickly prepared and suits the tastes of the grown-ups too. Mix raspberry concentrate, add sugar and lemon extract, put a couple teaspoons of mint leaves and crushed ice, and your pink lemonade will fit your festive decor.

Kiwi Cruiser

Pour a shot glass of pureed Kiwi fruit and add two shot glasses of Sprite with Kiwi chunks as required. A little more froth of sweet lime with crushed ice as you like it is added after that. Blend the mixture and add a lemon garnish and crushed ice at the end to create this unusual, tropical treat for your Holi celebrating friends.

Green Coconut water

Celebrating Holi can be quite exhausting. Revitalize in an instant with this invigorating natural drink. Give it a twist by sprinkling a little salt, adding a few ice cubes, a couple teaspoons of jeera, and a few drops of lime extract. This ever refreshing drink is a great selection to offer with its detoxifying properties and smooth contents.

There may be an outcry over the lack of bhang or if you’re going out, you may not want it, but these healthy options will keep your attention all day and satisfy your tastes with ease.
