Ingredients:
1 cup organic dried apricots (soak in very hot water for 20 minutes, drain, then chop into smaller pieces. If your apricots are very moist you may be able to skip the soaking part)
2 cups dessicated coconut, plus extra for rolling
1 tablespoon of raw organic cold pressed coconut oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons of LSA mix (This is a mixture of ground linseeds (flax seed), sunflower seeds and almonds).ย
Place all ingredients together in a food processor and process until smooth and the mixture is coming together. Roll into little balls, roll into extra coconut and you’re done! Keep in the fridge and try not to eat too many ๐
*A lot of people have been asking me where to buy ingredients for the healthy snack recipes I’ve been posting lately. One place is the health food section of Coles – this is ok if you just want smallish quantities to try, otherwise it can be very expensive.
Another option is Bulk Whole Foods – they have reasonable prices and post is free if your order is over $100. If you don’t want to spend that much at once, you could pool with one or several others to take advantage of the free post, this is what I did with my last order ๐

Whatโs LSA?

I should clarify that in the post! It’s a mix of ground linseed (flax seed), sunflower seeds and almonds.

Kelly,
We've been experimenting with healthy snacks too! The ingredients are more expensive but the snacks are better for the kids. I must look online and buy in bulk. Coles is the only shop locally that sells such ingredients and they don't sell all the things I want.
I love apricot and coconut. The balls look delicious!

Marie, I now get them online in bulk, but if you want to give them a try, you can get both ingredients in the health food section at Coles. I don't shop at Woolworths, but they may stock them too ๐
Marie
look delish. Where does one get coconut oil from, and what is LSA mix?
