What do you do when life gives you over a kilo of organic dried apricots? And you’re a fan of Tahini, hemp seeds, brazil nuts? And you’re about to head on a road trip? Well, I don’t know about you, but I made these apricot sesame bliss balls for Mum and I to take on our road trip 🙂

Recipe Type: GF, DF, RSF, Paleo, Vegan

Serves 20 Bliss Balls

Time  20min

Ingredients:

• 1 C raw cashews
• 1/2 C brazil nuts
• 1/2 C natural protein powder
• 1/3 C hemp seeds
• 2/3 C organic dried apricots
• 2 heaped T tahini
• 2 T water
• pinch salt

Method:

1. Place the dried apricots in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes.
2. Place nuts in a food processor and process until they resemble a nut-meal texture. Add the protein powder, salt and hemp seeds and blitz gently to combine.
3. Transfer to a bowl.
4. Strain the apricots and add them to the food processor with the tahini and water. Process until it comes together as a paste. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to make sure everything is incorporated.
5. Transfer to the bowl of dry ingredients and combine well, add a little more water if necessary.
6. Roll the mixture into balls and place in the fridge to firm up.
7. Garnish further if desired or enjoy as is.
