• Kohola powder (often refers to natural herbal/marine or plant-based powders, depends on source) → may provide minerals, antioxidants, and gut-friendly support.
• Coconut milk powder → good source of healthy fats (MCTs), provides energy, keeps you fuller longer, and is dairy-free (suitable for vrat if allowed).
• Whey protein → rich in essential amino acids, helps maintain muscle strength during fasting, supports satiety.
• Yeast protein (nutritional yeast protein or extract) → plant-based protein, B-vitamins (especially B12 if fortified), supports energy and immunity.
• Cucumber powder → hydrating, cooling, rich in antioxidants, supports digestion and detox during fasting.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Satiety & Energy – Protein + healthy fats help keep you full for long hours.
• Muscle Maintenance – Whey/yeast protein prevents muscle loss during reduced food intake.
• Hydration & Cooling – Cucumber helps balance body heat (important in fasting).
•  Quick Nutrition – Powders make it easy to prepare even while fasting.
• Supports Digestion – Light on the stomach compared to fried vrat foods.
• Immunity & Vitality – Protein + antioxidants boost overall stamina during nine days.

Points to Note for Upvaas/Navratri:

• Many people avoid grains, certain pulses, or commercial powders during vrat. Check your family’s or community’s fasting rules before including whey/yeast protein (as some consider them non-vrat-friendly).
• Coconut milk powder and cucumber powder are generally acceptable.
• If whey/yeast are restricted, you can swap them with vrat-approved protein sources like rajgira (amaranth), singhara (water chestnut), or makhana powders.
