ZESTY ENERGY BOOSTERS
These little energy balls are brilliant for when you need a little boost. We think that the mix of cashews and coconut taste almost like white chocolate! The added lemon is optional but adds a fresh and zesty flavour that pairs beautifully with the surprise cherry centre.
A reliable pick-me-up, full of raw goodness, best stored in the fridge ready for when hunger strikes.
