But who said you must sacrifice the decadence of sweets in the name of well-being? The answer lies in creating a healthier version of these cherished treats, allowing you to enjoy them guilt-free while basking in the spirit of the season. While some may count calories meticulously, Bangalore-based nutritionist Dr. Nikita Suresh recommends a different approach to enjoying these traditional delights, she says, “you don't have to curb your cravings completely. You can enjoy these scrumptious sweet delicacies by making them at home with healthier ingredients.”

Dry fruit laddoos are the perfect solution to satisfy your festive cravings. They offer a mild sweetness, making them an excellent choice for those who are health-conscious. Dr. Nikita has altered the nuts into a more delightful treat by selecting ingredients that are both low in calories and still capable of benefiting your sweet cravings.
