A wedding is a beautiful event celebrating love and commitment, where every appearance holds a special place in the couple’s hearts and that of their cherished guests. Among these cherished details are wedding gifts for guests, and tokens of appreciation that symbolise the gratitude of the couple for their guests’ presence on such a significant and joyous occasion of their lives.
Originally, gifts in the form of sweet treats have been in the tradition for a longer period, which signifies the sweetness of the couple’s love and their wish to share it with those who matter to them the most. But in today’s health-conscious world, the art of gifting has evolved, and so have our choices.
Individuals now desire healthier and more thoughtful gift options, with a reduced emphasis on sweetness. Previously, these were gifted without consideration for their nutritional value, but today, sugar-free sweets are in vogue. These sweets are free of preservatives and added sweeteners and are tailored to meet individual preferences, including Keto, low-carb, and Vegan diets.
At Zero Guilt by Archana, we understand the profound significance of these sweet tokens, and we are passionate about transforming this tradition into a healthier, guilt-free experience. That’s why we’re thrilled to present this blog as a guide for couples who want to make mindful, health-conscious choices when it comes to catering gifts such as healthy wedding sweets.
A] What Are The Benefits Of Choosing Healthy Low Carb, Keto, And Sugar-Free Mithais?
As you embark on the journey of choosing wedding gifts, it is imperative to not just consider the sweetness of the gesture, but also the health and happiness of your guests. Listed below are numerous benefits of opting for healthy and guilt-free sweets, which include:
- Mindful Delight: Healthy sweets allow guilt-free indulgence. Guests can enjoy delicious flavours without worrying about consuming too many calories.
- Helps In Weight Loss And Management: Traditional mithais are typically loaded with refined sugar and carbohydrates, which can significantly lead to blood sugar surge and hinder the weight loss process. However, relying on sugar-free mithais with low-carb, Mawa-free ingredients and plant sweeteners – erythritol and stevia assist in the weight loss process.
- Maintains Blood Sugar Level: A spike in blood sugar levels can automatically lead to insulin surges and other health complications, due to excessive sweetness and carbs in traditional mithais. However, consuming low-carb mithais having paneer instead of Mawa and without preservatives, doesn’t challenge blood glucose levels, making them a safer option for everyone, especially for diabetic or pre-diabetic person.
- Improves Energy Levels: Opting for sugar-free and healthy sweets can lead to improved energy levels and mental clarity as the sugar rush is not there and paneer being a good source of protein helps in energy levels. By choosing healthy desserts, you can continue experiencing these benefits while enjoying your gifting sweet indulgences.
- Conforms Sweet Cravings: Sugar-free sweets often contain ingredients that are high in saturated fats. In addition, one of the most challenging aspects of being on a healthy lifestyle is to control cravings for sweet treats. Sugar-free sweets provide a pleasant substitute without raising blood sugar levels satisfying sweet cravings. Overall, you can satisfy your sweet desire and follow your diet by selecting low-carb, vegan and keto options.
