    I switched water and OJ for Kefir and I switched wheatgerm for Flaxseed.
    Rolled the balls in Akta vite too add a little more nutrition and a hint of chocolate flavour.
    Hope the kids enjoy

    Quick, easy, lunchbox snacks for a week. I used bran instead of wheatgerm & everyone loved the taste.

    Amazing! Followed this recipe exactly except used weetbix instead of wheatgerm. They are delicious and won't last long in the house. Thank you!

    My, oh, my!  These are Ah-mazing!  Used half apricots, half figs and weetbix as per tips and other comments. My 8 month old, 2 year old and husband love them. I had to make a second batch straight away!!

    So good, used weetbix insteadof wheat germ and did half sunflower seeds and half almonds. Kids love them (and I'm struggling not to demolish them too!)
