International Yoga Day is a celebration of balance between the mind and body, discipline and delight, austerity and abundance. While yoga centres us and strengthens our inner awareness, the food we consume plays a crucial role in extending that balance into our daily lives. That’s why this Yoga Day, we’re reimagining indulgence with a twist. So here are 5 guilt free Dairy Milk jaggery dessert bars. The jaggery is a naturally sweet, nutrient-rich alternative to refined sugar and the Dairy Milk adds a nice modern flavor that’s rich and familiar. These dessert bars are not just delicious, they’re thoughtfully crafted to align with yogic values of wellness and moderation. Each recipe uses jaggery in place of sugar, infuses wholesome ingredients, and brings in the comforting familiarity of Dairy Milk chocolate. The result is a collection of sweet treats that nourish and satisfy, without the heaviness or guilt.
This is essentially a layered no-bake bar with toasted oats, ghee-roasted nuts, jaggery syrup, and a smooth Cadbury Dairy Milk topping. Oats are slow digesting and grounding, making them ideal for post yoga nourishment. Jaggery brings a caramel like depth, while the Dairy Milk layer creates a familiar finish that feels indulgent but balanced. These are perfect to pack in your yoga bag for a quick, energising post-practice snack.

This is a soft, cakey bar made from mashed banana, whole wheat flour, jaggery, and walnuts, with a drizzle of melted Dairy Milk on top. Banana is rich in potassium, supporting muscle recovery.

This bar aligns beautifully with sattvic principles, being minimally processed and made from seasonal, nourishing ingredients.

Earthy ragi (finger millet) flour forms the base of this nutrient rich bar, sweetened with jaggery and dotted with chunks of Cadbury Dairy Milk. Ragi is a sattvic grain loaded with calcium and iron.

This is a perfect treat to share after a community yoga session, bringing grounding, satisfaction, and comfort.

Serve it chilled after a restorative yoga class for a truly rejuvenating experience.
