We all know how difficult it is to strike a good balance between tasty and nutritious when it comes to our diets, especially when it comes to snack food (looking at you 3am cheesy chips…). These energy bars are super quick and easy to make, and the best thing about them is that you can keep them in the freezer for weeks and whip one out when you’re feeling peckish.

Ingredients:

• 100g nuts – any combination you fancy out of hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts or almonds
• 100g desiccated coconut
• 100g fresh dates – Medjool dates work particularly well
• 50g coco powder – you can use raw cacao if you’re feeling super healthy
• 3 tbsp. coconut oil
• Pinch of salt

Technique:

1. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave for about 10 seconds until it turns

to liquid

2. Wizz all the ingredients in a food processor for about 3-4 minutes,

starting off pulsing, until the mixture comes together in a large clump

3. Line a tray with cling film and pop the mixture inside

4. Put another layer of cling film on top and flatten it using your hands

5. Leave in the freezer for at least 2 hours

6. Remove from tray and cut into bite size portions

7. Enjoy!
