Roll up, roll up… the new Slimming World fruit ’n’ nut balls are bouncing onto the scene!
At Slimming World, we’re not sure about the term ‘energy balls’ – all foods give us energy. Of course, some are a healthier choice than others and what we do love is the idea of a perfectly portioned healthy bite that’s packed with tasty fruit and nuts. So we’re delighted to reveal our set of new Slimming World balls, with recipes for four fantastic flavours.
These brilliant bite-size beauties make a great on-the-go snack and are ideal for popping into a lunch box. They’re all suitable for vegans and super-simple to make. They’ll last for up to five days in the fridge and are even freezer-friendly, so you could make up a batch of balls for when you feel snackish.
