Quinoa & Oats Laddu- A healthy and nutritious snack...

These healthy and nutritious laddus are made out of quinoa and oats which turn out to be very appetizing and a delicious snack. If you think that quinoa is only good for salads and pilafs, then you should try this combination of quinoa along with oats.

Oats help to control the blood sugar and keep you feeling full and quinoa adds a little extra protein. The amazing combination of both will make your day.

In this laddus all the dry ingredients are roasted, then mixed along with jaggery, ground and rolled in the form of laddus using clarified butter. The addition of nuts will improve its taste to another level. Nuts are a good source of vitamins, fibers, and essential minerals. Flax seeds are called as the most powerful plant foods on the planet. These contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acid. Chia seeds are a common substitute in vegan cooking. These chia seeds also contain rich omega-3 fatty acids. All together this snack is a  full power packed one which can be had after a nice workout.
