Cheese and Crackers

When you're hungry for something savoury at night, just say cheese and crackers. Keep an eye on your serving sizes if you're watching your weight because cheese can get high in calories and fat if you eat big chunks of it.

Opt for whole-grain crackers, which contain filling fibre. If you need a little more volume to stay sated until morning, add some fresh grapes, apple slices, or fresh veggies.

Roasted Makhana

Simplest and healthiest, just roast some makhanas on a pan in some ghee, add your favourite masala, and munch on. Can anything be simpler than this? We bet nothing! These puffy, airy and spicy bites will definitely make you forget about popcorn.

Roti Taco

Got some leftover rotis at home? Here's how you can give your regular rotis a Mexican twist. Roast rotis, fill it up with veggies, sauces and herbs, chilli flakes, salt and it's done. Finish it off with ketchup and namkeen to add more crunch.

Tawa Bread Rolls

Here we bring you another delicious bread recipe. These deep-fried bread rolls are filled with spicy aloo stuffing and served with mint and tamarind chutneys. We bet this recipe is sure to enhance the taste buds.

Popcorn

For those who would like to eat something salty and crunchy, we would suggest they binge on popcorn. It’s a high-fibre snack that will keep you full until the next meal. Leave off the butter and salt, and replace them with heart-healthy fats like olive oil or fresh herbs.

In fact, three cups of air-popped popcorn contain less than 100 calories and roughly 4 grams of fibre, which will help you to feel full.

Roasted Chickpea

A small cup of roasted channa along with a small piece of jaggery can keep your tummy happy and satisfy the midnight craving.

Egg Omelette

Egg lovers, raise your hands! We have this super healthy and nutritious recipe for you all. All you need to do is whisk some eggs,  add crunchy vegetables and seasonings of your choice and bake! Yes,  it's that simple.

Salami Sandwich

When only a sandwich will do, start with lean protein like Chicken  Salami and whole-grain bread and add a slice of tomato, some lettuce, and a little mayo or any other sauce according to your taste buds. The combination of protein and complex (that is, filling) carbs will send hunger pangs packing.

Veggies and Tortilla Chips & Hummus

Snacking on hummus and fresh veggies like carrot or tortilla chips helps boost your immune system with vitamins and minerals from vegetables like carrots and bell peppers, while hummus is a good source of protein.
Turmeric Milk

Milk is a rich source of important nutrients like calcium,  phosphorus, vitamin B, potassium and Vitamin D. Adding turmeric to milk enables your body to relax. It gives a calming effect to the brain and gives you a perfect good night's sleep.
