Chrissie Swan's recipe for the perfect snack that happens to resemble "gritty poo nuggets".

May 6, 2016

My snacking attempts always fail. That unpeeled carrot that accompanied me to work? It’s replaced by an obscenely expensive macaroon by about 10am. Chrissie Swan has a brilliant solution.

The TV and radio presenter and all round legend has already wowed us with her mouthwatering vegetable lasagne recipe, but now she’s got our snacking needs sorted, too.

“These are my new favourite thing in the history of things. I’m so blinded by my love for them that I can’t even tell if this pic makes them look delicious or more like a gritty poo nugget,” Chrissie captioned an image of her bliss ball creations.

These are my new favourite thing in the history of things. I’m so blinded by my love for them that I can’t even tell if this pic makes them look delicious or more like a gritty poo nugget. Anyhoo… Wanna make some? Chuck the following things into the food processor: One cup raw cashew nuts 5 dates (or less… Depending on your sweet fang) Half cup shredded coconut 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted) Roll into balls and whack in the fridge. And please let me know if you become similarly enamoured/obsessed. ❤️

Yeah, even we can manage that.
