Squidgy Fruit & Nut Bites

Here is a delicious energy snack for before training, during an endurance event or a healthy afternoon snack. It will give you the pick-me-up that you need and is much healthier than raiding the vending machine.


The recipe contains pretty much an equal amount of nuts and seeds to dried fruit which will prevent raising your blood sugars too high, so you shouldn't have a sugar crash afterwards.


Ingredients
1/2 cup (75g) of dried figs
1/2 cup (75g) of dates
1/2 cup (about 90g) of chopped almonds
3 tbsp of ground flaxseed aka linseed
1 tsp of honey
2 tsps of light tahini
2-3 tbps of water / almond, rice or coconut milk
1/2 cup of shredded coconut


What to do

• If you have a big food processor throw everything, except the coconut, in and pulse until roughly combined.
• If like me you have a tiny food chopper, chop all the ingredients up in stages throw it into a bowl and mix together with your hands.
• Scoop out a big tablespoon of mixture and make a ball or disc shape and coat in shredded coconut.
• Repeat with rest of mixture.

These are best kept in fridge and can be wrapped up and travel well. They can also be frozen if you make too many :-)
