The combination of almonds, Brazil nuts and cashews in ABC spread provides a great source of healthy fats and protein, which can support energy levels and immunity. These bliss balls can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks, although they’re so delicious they may not last that long.

Tip
When shopping for nut butters, look for one where the oil naturally separates and pools on top. This is often a sign of a good quality product. Stir before using to create a smooth consistency.
