Breakfast's Your Jam? YogaBar's Co-Founder Tells Us Her Healthy Faves

If you're bored of your regular cereals and granolas, Monsoon Harvest offers tasty treats using ingredients like jowar, bajra and ragi infused with fig, honey, dark chocolate, orange peel, cranberry and more. Their crunchy muesli makes for a lovely breakfast or a midday meal. Their chips, popcorns and biscuits make for healthy munchies while binge-watching your favourite show. Their nut and seed bars and gourmet boxes boxes make for pretty thoughtful presents too. Oh, and they have a vegan and gain-free granola option to.

Suhasini's pick: "Cinnamon Oat Clusters - It is a yummy combination and these are great to snack on."

Giving natural and wholesome ingredients a new and a delish avatar, is this granola brand called Grainola (full-marks from us on the brand name). With mostly organic and gluten free options, their range has fun granola combinations like spiced sriracha and cranberry, cinnamon peanut butter, sea salt and dark chocolate, and hazelnut and belgian chocolate. Whether you want to dunk them in warm or cold milk, whip up a smoothie or snack on them, you're eating healthy.

Suhasini's pick: "Vanilla Almond Butter - Great to make a breakfast smoothie with, and tastes yum with fresh cut fruits too."

It's time to ditch the regular and unhealthy spreads because this homegrown brand Banter Kitchen makes 100 percent natural homemade nut butters. Preservative-free, gluten-free and completely vegan, Banter uses nuts and natural ingredients to make a whole range of naturally-flavoured butter. Whether you're a butter purist or not, their range of nut butters on crisp toasts (or simply lick a few spoonfuls), are both decadent and healthy. 

Suhasini's pick: "Peri-Peri Cashew Butter - For the yummy taste twist."

If you're still not convinced that cold-pressed juices are the best, Flax is here to convince you. Juicing has always been around, but now with better techniques and technology, one can also get their share of nutrients extracted from the fruits. The Flax Juices come in juice variants like Vitamin Boost (apple, beetroot, carrot, orange), Bye-Bye Fat (apple, orange, carrot) and Dare To Detox (mint, parsley, coriander, betel leaf, curry leaf, ginger, lime). In Mumbai and Bangalore, Flax also delivers gourmet style salads, superbowls, sandwiches, and more, for those who prefer both taste and health. 

Suhasini's pick: "The Flax Refresh Juice (has watermelon, apple and pomegranate) - It's easy to carry around and very refreshing indeed."
