These apricot bliss balls are a healthy sweet treat for little ones. They’re loaded with healthy fats, fibre, and nutrients, however because this contains dried fruit which is high in sugar (although natural) it’s better to offer as an occasional snack, and from the age of 12 months. Some people prefer to wait until 2 years of age, however we provide healthy and natural sweet things like this in moderation (which is all personal choice)
Apricot Bliss Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup (185g) dried apricots (we prefer the no preservative ones - they are brown in colour)
- 1 cup (140g) raw cashews
- 1 cup (160g) dried dates pitted
- 1 cup (100g) shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (50g) shredded coconut for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- Soak the apricots, cashews & dates in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and add to a food processor along with the coconut.
- Process until combined (approx 45-60 seconds till no chunks remain).
- Roll in to balls using approx 1 Tbsp of the mixture. Optional step is to roll in some extra coconut
- Serve either as balls or if you have a little one that shoves them in whole you can break in to small pieces to minimise choking hazards.
Notes
These freeze really well for up to 3 months.
