These snacks are packed with dense energy and nutrients from nuts, seeds and coconut. Dark chocolate, dried fruit and a touch of honey provide a sweet finish that tastes very indulgent. Great for a late afternoon boost!

Mix the peanut butter/tahini, honey and cocoa powder well. Add the linseed meal, dried fruit, coconut and chocolate chips and mix well with your hands.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Place the ground roasted almonds in a bowl.
Shape the refrigerated mixture into small balls, then roll them in the almonds to coat the outside.
Variations:
-To make nut free power balls, use tahini only (make sure it’s not too runny or you will have to thicken it with extra ingredients like more coconut, flaxseeds, or try oat meal or quinoa flakes).
-Replace peanut butter with a different nut butter such as almond or hazelnut.
-Use your imagination with the outside coating- coconut, sesame seeds or other ground nuts create different effects and flavours
* Raisins maybe substituted for other dried fruits, like sultanas or dried apricots
