Looking for a healthy Indian sweet that's packed with protein, omega-3s, and natural energy—without any sugar? These Mixed Nuts Ladoo with Plant Genius Chia Seeds and TrueZero Monk Fruit Sweetener are the perfect guilt-free mithai for festivals, post-workout snacks, or everyday indulgence. No refined sugar, no jaggery, no maida—just pure nutrition wrapped in traditional flavor.
Ladoos have been a staple in Indian households for generations—whether it's Diwali celebrations, prasad offerings, or simply satisfying your sweet tooth. But traditional ladoos come loaded with ghee, sugar, and empty calories. This recipe gives you all the taste with supercharged nutrition from nuts, seeds, and the clean sweetness of monk fruit—perfect for diabetics, keto followers, or anyone seeking healthier mithai alternatives.
Step 1: Prepare the Chia Seeds Soak ¼ cup Plant Genius Chia Seeds in 3 tablespoons of water for 10-15 minutes. They'll absorb the water and form a gel-like consistency, this acts as a natural binder for your ladoos, replacing dates and sugar syrup.
Step 2: Dry Roast the Nuts In a heavy-bottomed pan, dry roast the mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts) on low heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them—just lightly toast to bring out the oils and flavor. Let them cool completely, then roughly chop or pulse in a mixer for 2-3 seconds. You want a coarse, chunky texture, not fine powder.
Step 3: Roast the Coconut In the same pan, dry roast the desiccated coconut for 2 minutes until lightly golden and aromatic. Set aside to cool.
Step 4: Combine Everything In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped nuts, roasted coconut, soaked chia seeds (with the gel), Plant Genius TrueZero Monk Fruit Sweetener, almond butter or cashew butter, cardamom powder, and ghee (or coconut oil). Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until the mixture starts coming together. The warmth of your hands will help release the natural oils from the nuts and make the mixture sticky.
Step 5: Adjust Sweetness and Consistency Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more TrueZero if needed. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of ghee or another tablespoon of nut butter. If it's too sticky, add a tablespoon of coconut or crushed nuts.
Step 6: Shape the Ladoos Grease your palms lightly with ghee or coconut oil. Take small portions (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and roll them firmly between your palms to form smooth, round ladoos. Apply gentle pressure to ensure they hold their shape.
Step 7: Coat and Garnish (Optional) Roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut, roasted sesame seeds, or chopped pistachios for extra flavor and visual appeal. This step is optional but adds a beautiful finish for festive occasions.
Step 8: Set and Store Place the ladoos on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. Once set, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks—or freeze for up to a month.
