Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At just 36.5 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management. The low-calorie vegetables keep the energy density low.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 44, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 2.5g fiber further slows glucose absorption.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (1.3g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.

Heart Health

Zero cholesterol and low saturated fat (0.1g) make this heart-friendly. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.

PCOS

Low GI (44) with 2.5g fiber supports insulin sensitivity — key for PCOS management. The high fiber content supports hormone balance by aiding estrogen metabolism.

Thyroid

Contains cruciferous vegetables which are goitrogenic when raw. However, cooking significantly reduces goitrogen activity. If you have hypothyroidism, ensure these are well-cooked and maintain a gap of 30-60 minutes from thyroid medication.

Portion Guidance

Weight Loss

1 Glass (~257.3g). A light, kcal-friendly portion. Pair with roti or salad for a complete meal under 300 kcal.

Muscle Gain

1 Glass (~257.3g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.

Diabetes

1 Glass (~257.3g). Pair with whole wheat roti (not rice) to lower glycemic load. Eat protein and fiber portions first, carbs last.

General

1 Glass (~257.3g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.

Recipe Modifications

Boost protein

Add 50g paneer, a boiled egg, or a side of sprouted moong dal. Stirring in 1 tbsp of peanut butter also adds 4g protein.

Meal prep friendly

Palakura Green Apple Juice stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.

Common Mistakes

Not measuring serving size

Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (73.1-109.6 kcal).

Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
