Raw Choco-Orange Bites
One of my favourite treats are the Nakd bars, they’re so scrummy especially as they’re made from just fruit and nuts, looking at the packet last time I had one, I realised they’d be pretty straightforward to recreate at home. Because the fruit gives these a high sugar content, I made them into smaller balls rather than a bar, one of these with my tea in the afternoon is a yummy treat without giving too much sugar!
I keep mine in the fridge {if they’re on the side they’ll last five mintues!} I’m planning on making another batch this week and changing the orange for some peppermint. Let me know if you try these!
I N G R E D I E N T S
150g dates
150g almonds
75g raisins
1 orange, juiced and zested
1 tbsp cocoa powder
H O W T O
Blitz the almonds in the food processor until they in tiny pieces.
Add in the dates, raisins, orange juice & zest and cocoa powder and blitz until combined.
Roll into bite sized balls, and store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer.
