Is Pineapple Sheera healthy?

No, this is not healthy. Made up of pineapple, ghee, rava and sugar.

Let's understand the Ingredients.

What's good.

What's the problem?

Pineapple : ½ cup of chopped pineapple contains 2.3 grams of fiber and being a natural laxative helps in keeping your bowel movements smooth and regular. It also helps you feel satiated for a longer period of time which eventually decreases your entire calorie intake in a day. However, it is always better to have fresh pineapple. Since the recipe uses a puree, we don't suggest using it. Pineapple  has a low glycemic load of about 5. and should be eaten in moderation by diabetics. 

Rava (semolina, sooji) :  What's good? Semolina is a fairly good source of Magnesium and phosphorus which is necessary to keep our nervous system healthy and working. What's the issue? Fibre is one key nutrient for weight loss and semolina is devoid of it. Semolina is not suitable for diabetics. For details read is sooji healthy?

Sugar : Sugar is also called white poison. It is a simple carbohydrate with zero nutritional value. On intake, sugar will cause inflammation of the body which will last for many hours. It will spike your blood sugar level and shut down the fat burning process. To live a healthy life, try and cut sugar which from your diet. It requires a slow and deliberate attempt to do it. Find hidden sugar in packaged foods and drinks and stop having those products. Did you know that a can of your favourite soft drink is estimated to have 1/2 cup of sugar.

No for all. As explained above, sugar will create havoc in your body. Also too much ghee used and this fat level is not good.

Can healthy individuals have Pineapple Sheera ?

No, too much sugar.
