A few months ago we decided we needed to take better care of ourselves! We will write more about this soon…but we realised that most of the processed & packaged foods and snacks we would take away in the van with us were full of way too much crap. We thought it was just easier and more convenient to buy packaged snacks, but thanks to our good friend Leah from Life’s Pantry, we were shown that there were so many better options that could be whipped up in minutes at home…
This one is the easiest & quickest one that has become a staple in our lunchboxes and on road trips…
Apricot Bites: {This has been tweeked by Leah from a recipe found on Wholefood Simply}
280g of dried Apricots
150g of Desiccated Coconut
Yup…that’s it!! Just throw this in the food processor/thermie/ninja or any food wizzer you have…keep processing for a while until it all comes together…this can take a few minutes of wizzing…
We then simply press it into a cake tin and refrigerate for a few hours – then cut it into little squares. You could roll these into balls too.
We keep ours in the fridge and pop them into lunch boxes and snack boxes for for the car.
Quick, easy, no added sugar…and DELICIOUS.
Watch Ashlee’s video to see how easy these are to make!!
Also check out our other healthy snacks “Rainbow Balls” & “Choc LCM Bars”…so yummy, easy and good for us all!!

You’re right – there is no added sugar, but please be judicial in giving too many to your children. The fructose in dried fruit is VERY concentrated and can cause severe damage to their tooth enamel. ?
Thanks Grandma Abby… yes, everything in moderation…in the last batch we made, we worked out that 4 little bites was about one dried apricot…just perfect and so much better than the processed bags you can get 🙂
Would these be ok to freeze? So can take out and put in lunch boxes for school
YES Belinda.. we make a batch a week.. and just keep them in the fridge…but they are also perfect in the freezer too 🙂 ENJOY
