26. FAQ

1. What are some examples of healthy iftar snacks?
Healthy iftar snacks can include light yet nutritious foods and drinks, such as kolak without excessive coconut milk, fruit ice without high-sugar syrup, dates, fruit pudding, smoothies, or fresh fruit soup. Choose snacks with fiber and vitamin content to help the body feel refreshed after fasting.

2. Why is it advisable to choose snacks that are not too sweet?
Snacks that are too sweet can quickly restore energy, but excessive sugar consumption can make the body feel weak again quickly. Snacks with natural sweetness from fruits are better because they provide energy along with additional nutrients.

3. Are cold drinks good for breaking the fast?
Cold drinks can be consumed, but they should not be too cold to avoid shocking the stomach after being empty for a day. Room temperature water, coconut water, or fresh fruit drinks are better for helping the body readjust.

4. How to choose takjil that is filling yet healthy?
Choose takjil that contains fiber and complex carbohydrates such as boiled sweet potatoes, steamed bananas, mung beans, or fruit oatmeal. These types of food help you feel full longer without making your stomach feel heavy.

5. Can fried takjil still be consumed during iftar?
Fried foods can still be enjoyed occasionally, but it is better not to make them the main iftar menu because of their high oil content which can cause discomfort in the stomach. It is better to prioritize fresh and healthy takjil before enjoying fried foods in small portions.
