These no-cook nut balls are vegan, high in fibre and easy to prepare in advance. They make a convenient, nutritious afternoon snack. Not suitable for children under five due to their shape and size.

Ingredients

30g almonds
80g prunes
100g smooth, peanut butter
60g chopped mixed nuts
55g raisins

Method

Cut the almonds in half. Chop the prunes into pieces about the same size as raisins.
Put the peanut butter, prunes, raisins and almonds into a bowl and mix well.
Take a teaspoon of the mixture and drop it into a bowl of chopped mixed nuts. Use another clean spoon to roll it around so the nuts stick.
Shape it into a ball with your fingers. The balls will be about the size of a 2 pence coin before rolling, and about the size of a table tennis ball once coated.
Repeat until you have 12 balls. One serving is 2 balls.
Put the balls in the fridge for 30 minutes before eating. Keep them in the fridge and eat within 2 days. You can also freeze them for later.

Top tip

If you have a nut allergy, use seed butter, pumpkin seeds in the centre and sesame seeds on the outside. Prefer different nuts or dried fruit? Simply swap them in for your favourites.
