Instructions

Stay Awake

1 In a blender, blitz all the ingredients together, except the coconut. Add a little water to loosen the mix if it’s to dry to form a ball.

2 Using wet hands form into small balls. Flatten slightly and then toss in coconut. Place in the freezer.

3 Remove from freezer at least an hour before eating. If you’re using these as travel snacks, pack in a sealed container or tin. Keep in a chilly bag.

HFG tip

You can double this mix and make up a larger volume and store in the freezer.

These will keep in the freezer for up to a month.
