Pistachio Cacao Bliss Balls
Pistachio nuts are slightly sweet in taste and are packed full of phenolic antioxidants as well as being high in vitamins E and the B complex vitamins. Combined with the goodness of cacao, cashews, tahini and oats means these treats are super healthy and although they are high in energy they are very rich so one ball is usually all you need to satisfy those afternoon sweet cravings.

100g oats
150g cashew nuts
