Indian blackberry or jamun is a purplish mix of sweet and sour with a tinge of astringent-like taste and numerous health benefits. They say get busy living or get busy dying; well, we are busy for sure, but with a mix of both. We cannot let go of habits that are slowly killing us so we have the hope and longing to find antidotes for our vices. No wonder we are on a constant hunt for detox to clear up the toxicity born out of our habits, jobs or relationships. The simple solutions are no longer enough; we need seductive labels and the health industry is getting good at throwing those at us to make a quick buck. Eating your fruits and vegetables is boring advice; we need more alluring labels like the ORACle diet which is the same old saga that stands for oxygen absorption capacity (ORAC), wrapped in a fancy name. Here the oracle is delivering the prophecy of our kitchen gatekeepers: eat in season, in variety, throughout the day. So there is no reason to skip jamun during its short availability in monsoons. Listen to the Podcast 50 Desi Super Drinks with celebrity nutritionist Loveneet Batra and with one of our Top RJ's RJ Mandee on the RedFM India App

Young, active and accomplished, Lovneet Batra is one of Delhi’s most insightful nutritionists, columnists and former host of Restaurant Spy by India Today Group. She has also been the celebrity host for various television shows on NDTV, History, India Today, etc.

Founder of Nutrition by Lovneet, she holds a BS and MS in Dietetics and believes in a sustainable ‘no deprivation’ approach to a meaningful, long-lasting lifestyle makeover.

In the 2014 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, she played a key role as official nutritionist to various Indian teams such as boxing, cycling, gymnastics and hockey (girls).

In this contemporary era, where our diet has become as glamorous as fashion, people believe that superfoods come from some faraway land and are expensive too. 50 Desi Super Drinks by Lovneet Batra aims to burst this bubble and make people believe that any food that is homegrown, seasonal and fresh can be considered as a superfood. Along with the facts, come the recipes. They are 100 per cent Indian at heart, natural, easy to prepare.

The subject chosen is exemplary and unique. The author is giving us the recipe of fifty indigenous drinks. These are the drinks that are so common in India that we drink them routinely (or have stopped now after becoming westernized) without even knowing their health benefits and healing attributes. The book serves two purposes (at least). First, to remind those who have forgotten and tell those who are ignorant, the miraculous features of fifty Indian drinks, and secondly, the right way to prepare such delicious drinks that will be loved by your palate.
