Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Boosted Cheetos Mac
Prepare the Mac & Cheese using only half the flavor packet to reduce sodium. While pasta cooks, steam or sauté 1 cup of mixed vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and peas. Stir the cooked vegetables into the finished mac and cheese before serving.
Health Benefits
Increases fiber, vitamin, and mineral content while significantly lowering the sodium and additive load per portion.
Cheetos Mac with Spicy Paneer Topping
Prepare the mac and cheese as per directions. In a separate pan, stir-fry 100g of cubed paneer or tofu with bell peppers and onions. Serve the mac and cheese topped with the paneer stir-fry.
Health Benefits
Adds high-quality protein and fiber, creating a more balanced and satiating meal.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple FSSAI-approved artificial colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6) which have been linked to hyperactivity in some sensitive children. It also contains flavor enhancers like MSG, which can cause adverse reactions in some individuals. While legally permitted, the high load of various additives makes it unsuitable for frequent consumption, especially by children.
