The Holy Month of Ramadan brings a craving for various ta'jil delights. But often, these treats are loaded with unhealthy amounts of sugar and fat. The good news is that we can enjoy ta'jil that are tasty and good for us.

1. Fresh Fruit Smoothies
Blend fresh fruits like bananas, strawberries, mangoes, and blueberries with almond or soy milk. Add ice cubes and blend until smooth. This smoothie quenches your thirst and provides essential fiber and vitamins.
2. Medjool Date Stuffed Almond Butter
Medjool dates are naturally sweet and packed with fiber. Fill them with almond butter – a low-sugar, low-fat option. It's simple – slice the dates and stuff them with almond butter, then sprinkle finely chopped almonds on top—a delightful alternative to heavy snacks.
3. Fruit Ice Treat
Combine watermelon, jackfruit, cantaloupe, and apples in a bowl, along with low-fat milk and ice cubes. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add a bit of honey or palm sugar. This chilled fruit mix offers a dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
4. Green Bean Porridge
Turn green beans into a healthy and yummy takjil. Boil them with a pinch of salt until they're soft. Then, stir in coconut milk and coconut sugar to taste. Top with basil seeds and young coconut pieces for extra flavor.
