About These Apricot Energy Balls

I love dried apricots and think they are a bit underrated. Apricots are one of nature’s own superfoods. 

Apricots are full of vitamin A, which is a good source of beta-carotene, and they also pack in fibre, potassium, vitamin C and minerals. I once read somewhere that in the 16th century they were regarded as an aphrodisiac… apricot smoothie anyone..? Just saying, ladies and gentlemen 🙂 

Ingredients For Apricot Energy Balls

You will need only 4 ingredients. Here is your shopping list to make this gorgeous recipe

• Apricots - The best ones are un-sulphured ones, but they are not always easy to get. You will need approx.1 cup
• Walnuts - Delicious, creamy and so so good for you. If you don't have walnuts, use any other nuts
• Desiccated Coconut - Makes it slightly coconutty and goes so well with apricots.
• Lemon - You will need juice from 1 lemon. Or lime. Lime works well too
• Water - To help the apricot energy balls stick together.

How To Make Apricot Energy Balls

• Add water to help to bind it all together.

Energy Balls Storage Tips

• To Store. Keep any leftover energy balls in an airtight container in fridge for up to two weeks.
