Ingredients
- Raw almonds 1 oz
- Dried apricots 5 pieces
Method
-
Measure the almonds.
Using a kitchen scale or measuring cup, measure out 1 ounce (28 grams) of raw almonds. This is approximately a small handful.
Tip: If you don't have a scale, estimate by filling a small cup with almonds until it looks like a handful. -
Measure the dried apricots.
Count out 5 pieces of dried apricots, which should weigh about 35 grams. If you want, you can chop them into smaller pieces for easier eating.
Tip: Make sure the apricots are soft and pliable; if they are hard, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes to soften. -
Combine and serve.
Place the measured almonds and dried apricots together in a small bowl or container. Mix them gently to combine.
Tip: You can portion this snack into small containers or bags to take with you on the go.
Pro tips
- Store almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep them fresh longer.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, try lightly roasting the almonds in a pan without oil for 3-5 minutes before mixing.
