If you are anything like me, come 3.30pm you need something to munch on. These nutty balls are just the thing. They will boost your energy level enough to get you through the rest of the day and they make for a healthier alternative than a trek to the snack machine. Makes 10.

| ½ cup | Shredded coconut |
| ½ cup | Rolled oats |
| ½ cup | Almonds |
| ½ cup | Sunflower seeds |
| ¼ cup | Craisins, or apricots |
| 1 Tbsp | Chia seeds, optional |
| 1 Tbsp | Runny honey |

Directions
- Place drained dates, coconut, oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, craisins, chia seeds, honey and tahini in a food processor.
