Weekend Special: 7 Healthy Snacks For Weekend Binge-Watching Sessions

The weekend is almost here and so are our movie plans. Weekends are indeed an ideal time to engage in our favourite activities. Many of us like spending our weekend doing outdoor activities like shopping, going out for lunch, catching up with friends for drinks and more. But there are also people who love taking a back seat and enjoying their weekend in their house, snacking and lounging on their beds. If you enjoy binge-watching your favourite television programmes or movies over the weekend, then get ready to indulge in some delicious snacks along with it. These snacks are healthy and you can munch on them guilt-free.

Here Are 7 Healthy Snacks For Weekend Binge-Watching Sessions:

1. Popcorn

Popcorn and movies together can never go wrong. Popcorn is a nutritious food because it is made from maize kernels. But avoid slathering it in cheese or butter. Just prepare with little salt and oil. This simple and healthy snack can become highly unhealthy if too much salt and butter are added.

The video was shared by a Twitter user @chiragbarjatyaa. He simply captioned it, "Every second of this video is shocking." In it, we see a man presenting the dish set-by-step to the viewers, explaining the ingredients as he adds them. He first holds up two sticks of ice-creams to the camera. He then cuts up slices of bread and soaks them in a yellowish liquid. He then begins assembling the dish in a foil container. On top of the bread pieces, he adds some kind of sauce and then crushed dry fruits (kaju, badam and pista). He ladles sweet chutney on top and then proceeds to grate a lot of cheese. Finally, he cuts up three different ice cream dollies (including chocolate and mango) and layers the pieces on top of the cheese. Watch the video below:
