You can add boiled green moong sprouts to your poha for crunch & significant plant-based protein. Sprouts provide fiber & iron too.

Tofu or paneer can be crumbled or cubed right into your poha as it cooks. Both tofu & paneer blend nicely into the poha & you get complete proteins for muscle repair.

Not only do peanuts & almonds taste great in poha, they also add healthy fats & protein, which is ideal for satiety.

You can potentially double the protein in your poha by swapping part of your poha with cooked quinoa. Quinoa is also the most protein dense grain with all nine essential amino acids.

Pair your poha with a bowl of plain low-fat curd. It not only brings balance to the flavor, but you get protein, as well as gut-friendly probiotics.
