Apricot, Coconut & Tahini Energy Balls

I have been making a lot of date-based energy balls recently but I decided to mix it up with some unsulphured apricots. Halfway through, I realised I was out of almond butter so decided to add in some tahini…incredible!
.
It’s not too sweet, it’s rich in calcium (from the apricots, chia seeds and tahini) and the texture is 10/10. A nutrition and flavour bomb that would be great for long journeys or with a cup of herbal tea. Keeps for up to a week in the fridge or longer in the freezer.
