Perfect for a mid-afternoon snack....

Packed full of protein from the nuts, and chia seeds these bites are great for a post work-out snack or simply for a snack on the go.

Add in different combinations and coat in coconut/cacao or even matcha for an extra health kick! They’re so easy to make and modify to your own taste!

 *note this is made with a small food processor – double the amounts with a standard sized processor
