Science, and the science of nutrition, has been strongly suggesting, for a while now, that the more fruits you have -- not bought juice, please, and cut fruit is preferred over even homemade juice -- the better your day will unfold, healthwise. Don't have just one piece of fruit. Have 3 or 4 daily bindass.
Chef Sabyasachi Gorai creates a morning starter -- a selection of cut fruits are gently folded into a mixture of walnuts, oats, dried coconut and yoghurt. It can be a light dessert or a midday snack too.
