FAQ

According to Guilt Free Desserts for Weight Loss in Hindi, what is ‘agar-agar’ powder for making jelly?

Agar-Agar is also called China Grass. It is a 100% vegetarian gelatin substitute made from seaweed, which works as a set for jellies or puddings and is rich in fiber.

Can we use normal homemade yogurt instead of Greek yogurt in Mango Yogurt Parfait?

Yes, if you do not have Greek yogurt, you can use normal homemade curd, tie it in a muslin cloth and hang it for 2 hours (Hung Curd). When all the excess water is drained, you can use it for parfait.

Can we substitute regular cow milk for almond milk in chia seed custard?

Of course, you can use toned milk or low-fat cow’s milk. However, the addition of almond milk makes it completely vegan, low-calorie and lactose-free which is more beneficial for weight loss.

Can diabetics eat these guilt-free desserts?

White sugar is not used in these recipes. Watermelon and mango contain natural sugar, so diabetic patients can take ‘cucumber-mint smoothie’ or ‘chia custard’ (without honey, with stevia) in small quantities on doctor’s advice.

For how many days can Coconut and Blueberry Ice Bites be stored in the freezer?

You can prepare these healthy bites once and store them in an air-tight container in the freezer for 7 to 10 days and eat them whenever you have a sweet craving.
