The nutritionist named the permissible amount of okroshka without harm to health

Nutritionist Victoria Kostrova told how much okroshka you can eat without harm to your health. In conversation with aif.ru On Tuesday, May 19, the specialist noted that the classic okroshka with boiled sausage and sweet dark kvass is quite a serious test for the digestive tract.

It contains a lot of fats, salt and additives, which can cause fermentation. At the same time, the dish can be made healthier if you replace the sausage with boiled meat, add more greens, and cool the potatoes in advance — this will form a useful resistant starch. The expert also recommended using fermented milk drinks as a base, and if possible, homemade or natural kvass without sugar and additives.

According to her, okroshka is not suitable for everyone: it is contraindicated for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, for diabetes it is worth limiting potatoes, and for kidney problems, be careful with greens and radishes.

The nutritionist added that it is optimal to eat okroshka for lunch — one or two servings, and for dinner it is better to avoid it, as a cold dish slows down digestion and can cause swelling. If you choose the classic version, you should leave it as a rare pleasure — no more than once or twice a month.

Earlier on May 19, nutritionist Nuria Dianova told 360.ru that it is recommended to eat no more than 200-400 grams of okroshka without bread or other drinks. She also advised replacing sausage with lean meat, as well as choosing the right kvass: you need to look for sour, because it quenches thirst better.

Before that, nutritionist-endocrinologist Anton Polyakov said that it is difficult to find a balanced alternative to kvass and kefir, which will be without sugar and milk and will preserve the taste of traditional okroshka. However, you can use homemade kvass, in which, unlike store-bought, "sugar is not implied," writes NSN.
