Protein & Fiber Rich Ladoo

The healthy and guilt free dessert that can be enjoyed anytime of the day. 

Nowadays most of us are becoming health cautious and started to avoid the processed food in our food and the most avoided ingredient and the most addicted ingredient should be the sugar. 

Sugar in any form has become a big no no to many of us including me. But if you have a 24x7 active sweet tooth like me then this recipe is for you. It satisfies the sweet craving and at the same time you dont need to worry about the sugar present in it. 

The best part is this can be made within no time and easy to be made in large batches too. Hope you try it and have a healthier craving satisfier 😬.
