Ingredients
- 150g dried apricots
- 50g coconut shreds
- 50g almonds
- 50g almond butter
- 1tbs coconut oil
- 1bs wheatgerm
- pinch sea salt
Method
Blitz the apricots, coconut shreds, almonds, almond butter, coconut oil, wheatgerm and sea salt in a food processor. Keep a few pieces of the coconut shreds back for the topping.
Scoop out a ball of mixture, I like to use an ice-cream scoop as it helps to gauge the ball size.
Roll the ball mixture to a compact ball.
Top with a piece of coconut shred. This helps me to identify the flavour of the balls in the container I keep in the fridge or freezer.
