This is a great healthy snack option and best of all they taste delicious! I have these as my mid afternoon snack and to add a little Christmas flavour I've added peppermint essence for my family  so we have some healthier alternatives to chocolate this year.
Over the past few months I have tried different recipes and ended up blending a few together and this is what I now use.
1/2 cup hazlenuts
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup Blend 11 Good Mix
1/2 cup coconut
1/3 cup protein powder (use whatever you like I personally like chocolate pea protein)

There has been a lot of talk about "super" women who are giving birth without drugs, gas or epidurals especially on social media from their admiring husbands. And I get it, in the eyes of a man every woman going through labour is a superwoman especially as they feel powerless during this time and want to validate and appreciate their partners for all they are capable of. 
However I feel this can have a detrimental effect on pregnant women who are already unsure about what labour will bring, what choices they will make and what criticism they will receive. Pregnant women have pressure on them from every angle but especially from themselves. 

I found this recipe a few weeks ago and have altered some of the ingredients. They are so delicious, easy to make and freeze well.
