You may need to add a little more water if need be. Almond meal is great as it sticks quite well. Line a loaf or small slice tray (you may need to double mixture if you have a large slice tray) with glad wrap, tin foil or baking paper. Then add mixture to dish and evenly spread out and press down with the spatula until all mixture is firmly in place. Leave to set in fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. Add all dry ingredients together then add water or lemon juice. Blend together well either with spatula or hands until mixture is sticky. Add honey and then again mix well until combined and sticky. Using a tablespoon, roll mixture into little balls and roll again in coconut. Put onto a plate or container and keep in fridge. Lasts for at least 2 weeks and freezes well. www.facebook.com/lifesparknutrition Plunket Ponsonby / Herne Bay / Westmere / Grey Lynn / Pt Chevalier Newsletter
