Anytime Fitness, a leading chain of gyms from USA recently organised a “Protein Baking and Healthy Dessert” workshop in collaboration with Protein Brand Optimum Nutrition and MasterChef Ruhee Bhimani at their Malviya Nagar Outlet.
We Indians are a jolly lot and desserts are our passion. Any occasion demands the traditional “muh meetha karana” and thanks to this ritual of consuming processed sugars and saturated fatty acids, our health is taking a toll. Already among a leader in diabetes, hypertension and other chronic diseases, it is imperative we switch to a healthier brand of desserts.
Now, the association between healthy food and tasteless food had been since times immemorial. So, what MasterChef Ruhee Bhimani is doing is that she’s disproving the myth. Using proteins and natural sugars, she is creating desserts which score high on both charts, health and taste. Her variations from the classics include a Cassein Mousse, Protein Choco Bars, Nutella truffles and Cookie Clusters. Although the lack of saturated fatty acids means that the shelf life of these products decreases, but the use of natural sugars from dates and Casein and Whey protein from Optimum Nutrition means that these products not only reduce your belly, but also provide an endless fuel for your muscles.
The beautifully curated desserts tingle your palate with sinful desire. The recipes are available on the YouTube page of Optimum Nutrition and Anytime Fitness.
