8 ways to add ghee in your diet for weight loss

Shweta Singh

Ghee is high in calories, so be cautious with portion sizes. Stick to a teaspoon or tablespoon per meal to avoid excessive calorie intake.

Replace your regular cooking oil with ghee while sautéing vegetables or preparing meals. Its high smoke point makes it suitable for cooking at higher temperatures.

Add a small amount of ghee to your morning coffee or tea. Blending it creates a creamy texture and can help you feel satiated for longer.

Toss vegetables in a small amount of melted ghee before roasting them. This adds flavor and helps your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins.

Make air-popped popcorn and drizzle a small amount of melted ghee over it. Sprinkle with herbs or spices for added flavor.

Mix ghee into cooked whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or oats. It enhances the taste and provides healthy fats.

Instead of butter or margarine, spread a thin layer of ghee on your roti (Indian flatbread) or whole-grain bread.

Use ghee as a finishing touch to enhance the flavor of dishes. Stir it into soups, stews, or curries just before serving.
