Ingredients

For the recipe:
  • 100g organic cashew nuts
  • 50g organic ground almonds
  • 100g organic dried unsulphured apricots
  • 1tbsp organic almond butter
  • 1tsp Steenbergs organic orange extract
  • 1/2tsp Steenbergs fairtrade organic mixed spice
  • 2tbsp organic desiccated coconut

Trying to buy a tasty, sweet snack, that does not lead to a sugar surge, has led me to make my own protein-rich snack bites that provide a ‘healthy’ energy boost. I have used only one flavour of nut before, which gives a very distinct flavour, but I prefer the ‘mixed nut’ flavour. Any nut mixture can be used with any nut butter or indeed dried fruit – so it is a question of seeing what is in the cupboard!

Method

01
Blend the cashews, almonds, apricots, mixed spice and almond butter in a liquidizer until they resemble large breadcrumbs
02
Add the orange extract and a teaspoon of water. Combine and add a little more water until you are able to roll the mixture into mouth-sized balls
03
Roll in desiccated coconut, or sesame seeds, and store in the fridge - but do not forget to pop one in your bag or in the car for that moment when an energy boost is required!
