Protein laddu

 This recipe makes an excellent snack for adults and older people alike, particularly vegans/vegetarians.

Pecans are rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein. Walnuts are packed with antioxidants and help manage Type 2 diabetics while lowering blood pressure. Almonds contain unsaturated fats and vitamins, particularly Vitamin E. The calcium content in almonds promotes bone health. You can substitute with cashews or peanuts. Dates are super nutritious and work as a healthy substitute for sugar/sweeteners. For this recipe, I used organic Medjool dates. 

Remember to wash any produce that is not organic prior to preparation.
