These Healthy Weet-Bix Balls with medjool dates, honey, coconut, chia seeds and sultanas are super easy to make and take only 10 minutes to prepare.
A couple of weeks ago, I shared my recipe for Milo Weet-Bix Balls… they’re SOOO good… but they’re also the ‘naughty’ version of these Healthy Weet-Bix Balls. And so, I thought to keep things nice and balanced, I’d share this recipe too!
These are just as simple as the cheeky version, but they’re certainly a heck of a lot healthier! They’re also the perfect lunch box snack… nut-free, freezer-friendly and super yummy.
These Healthy Weet-Bix Balls are naturally sweetened by the medjool dates and the honey… YUM! I also like to add sultanas to my mixture as well, but you can totally leave them out if you’re not a fan.
So if you’re looking for:
a) a healthy snack;
b) a nut-free recipe;
c) lunch box inspiration;
d) a way to use up ALL those Weet-Bix!!
… then you’ve come to the right recipe!
Enjoy!
