If you are looking for a healthy after school or lunch box snack for the kids, you can’t go past these
easy and delicious Muesli Balls. All it takes is a few ingredients and your favourite flavoured
muesli to create this fun take on the traditional muesli bar. These balls are quite filling, which
makes a batch of them go a long way. This is a great recipe for the kids to help you with, they will
love scooping up and rolling the mixture before coating it them in a little extra muesli to give them
that bit of extra crunch. To make these lunch box and school friendly, simply use a nut free muesli.
If you want to try something a little different, try using a plain muesli and stir through 1/2 a cup of
chocolate chips after you have combined all of the ingredients. You could also add 1/2 a cup of
dried apricots pieces and 1/4 cup of coconut at the end too – yum!

2 1/2 cups of toasted muesli
1 cup of pitted dates
