Quick, heathy, fresh, home-made snacks for weekday evenings are, to me, the most challenging to find. Nuts are high in fats, but these are "good" fats that help in lowering the "bad" cholesterol. After a long day's work, I made these energizing honey-nut balls in a jiffy, and they also disappeared in a jiffy!


Ingredients:

almonds - 2 cups (broken)
raisins - 1/2 cup
honey - 3 tbsp
olive oil - 1 tsp

Method:

Take almonds in a saucepan. Roast on medium heat for a couple of minutes and add raisins. Mix well and turn off the heat. Add honey and stir well. While the mixture is still warm, grease your hands with olive oil, take a handful of the mixture, press firmly and roll out into tight, lemon-sized balls.

Notes:
Any nuts or combination of nuts can be used, as per individual preferences.
