Healthy Recipe Ideas
Quick Mango Lassi
1. Pour 125ml of Frooti into a blender. 2. Add 100g of plain yogurt (dahi) and a pinch of cardamom powder. 3. Blend until smooth and serve chilled.
Health Benefits
Adds protein and probiotics from yogurt, partially balancing the drink's high sugar content.
Mango Chia Pudding
1. In a glass, mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 125ml of Frooti. 2. Stir well to prevent clumps and let it sit for 10 minutes. 3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until a pudding-like consistency is formed. 4. Top with fresh fruit before serving.
Health Benefits
Incorporates healthy fats, fiber, and protein from chia seeds, turning a sugary drink into a more satiating dessert.
Frooti Fruit Popsicles
1. Pour Frooti into popsicle molds. 2. For added texture and nutrition, add small pieces of fresh mango or other fruits. 3. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or until solid.
Health Benefits
Offers a portion-controlled frozen treat that is a better alternative to high-fat ice creams.
Additive Analysis
The product contains several FSSAI-approved additives. The use of artificial food colour (INS 110 - Sunset Yellow FCF) is a point of concern for health-conscious consumers, although it is permitted within FSSAI limits. Other additives like acidity regulators, stabilizers, and antioxidants are generally considered safe.
Preservatives
No preservatives added

Marketing Claims
The claims are technically accurate but could be perceived as misleading. The claim 'Contains Fruit' is true, but the low percentage (11.2%) is not prominently displayed, potentially leading consumers to overestimate the product's health benefits. The primary ingredients are water and sugar, making it a sugar-sweetened beverage rather than a nutritious fruit juice.
