Tamannaah Bhatia, 35, recently gave a glimpse of a slow morning as she “eased” into the day. “I didn’t rush my Monday. I eased into it. These minutes are private until now. Just me and tea and time,” she said in an Instagram video, where she can be seen relishing some milk tea after eating some soaked nuts.
Taking a cue from the Stree 2 actor’s morning routine, we asked an expert about pairing tea and some nuts.
Starting the day with dry fruits and tea, as Tamannah Bhatia shares, can be a gentle and effective way to ease into morning routines while supporting both nutrition and energy balance, said consultant dietitian Garima Goyal.
“Dry fruits such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios are rich in healthy fats, protein and micronutrients, which provide sustained energy and satiety without causing a sudden surge in blood sugar. Including a small portion of these nutrient-dense foods early in the day can help reduce mid-morning hunger and support metabolic steadiness, especially for people with busy schedules,” said Goyal.

Should you pair dried fruit with tea?
Pairing dry fruits with tea adds another dimension to the morning ritual. “Tea, particularly when consumed without excessive sugar, offers antioxidants that support immunity and gentle stimulation without the intensity of strong coffee. For many individuals, this combination of light nourishment and antioxidant hydration can set a calm, balanced tone for the day ahead,” said Goyal.
What to note?
However, it’s essential to be mindful of portion size and overall dietary balance. “Dry fruits are calorie-dense, so keeping the serving moderate, typically a small handful, ensures you get their benefits without overshooting daily energy needs,” Goyal said.
Choosing wholesome, minimally processed tea varieties and incorporating whole-food meals later in the morning also ensures that nutrition remains comprehensive rather than limited to small morning bites, she added.

So, a morning that includes dry fruits and tea can be both enjoyable and nourishing, especially when you enjoy it without rushing your system. When it fits within a well-structured eating pattern, Goyal mentioned.
