Healthy Ladoo(whole grains and nuts)

Another experiment with healthy snacks includes whole grains and nuts.This simple laddoo tastes delicious.I bought a health mix powder from a store and found it contained most of the ingredients I included to make laddoos. So if you are lazy to make the powder then just grab a packet from grocery stores.
