Apple and Oat Bliss Balls
These easy oatmeal balls are a healthy breakfast or snack for any time of day. This recipe can be altered to incorporate any fruits (berries and stone fruits work particularly well) and can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen, so are ideal for meal-prep. Serve with Greek yoghurt and an extra serve of fruit.
