Whey Date & Nut Ladoo

No-bake ladoos of blitzed dates and nuts kneaded with a scoop of whey and rolled in coconut — the protein-ified mithai format Indian supplement brands keep publishing for good reason. A two-ladoo, 240-calorie serving is a portion-controlled sweet fix that slots into maintenance macros without derailing anything.

Ingredients

• 10 soft dates, pitted
• 1/4 cup almonds
• 1/4 cup cashews
• 1 scoop whey protein
• 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
• 1 tsp ghee

Instructions

1. Blitz the dates and nuts into a coarse, sticky mixture.
2. Knead in the whey, cardamom, and ghee until it holds together.
3. Roll into 6 equal balls — two balls make a serving.
4. Coat in desiccated coconut and chill 30 minutes before serving.
