Why This Dish is Healthy
Unlike store-bought versions, this recipe uses toned milk and honey, reducing empty calories and sugars.

This Krusher Chocolate can be enjoyed as part of a healthy Indian vegetarian diet, providing essential nutrients without excess sugar or fat, making it suitable for weight management and general wellness.
This homemade Krusher Chocolate is packed with the goodness of toned milk, providing calcium and protein crucial for bone health and muscle repair. Cocoa powder is rich in antioxidants, while honey offers natural sweetness without the spike of refined sugar. Parle-G biscuits add carbohydrates for quick energy, and optional additions like chia seeds and roasted peanuts boost fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and healthy fats. By using minimal cream and low-fat dairy, the recipe keeps saturated fat in check, making it a balanced beverage for calorie-conscious individuals.
