Beauty-Boost Truffles
 
These choc-free truffles are the packed with omega-goodness from nuts and seeds as well as healthy oils to help make skin strong and clear. Best of all, they are very easy to make and taste delicious!
 
You will need:

• 50g each of dates, dried apricots and sunflower seeds
• 100g raisins
• 100g porridge oats
• 50g wheatgerm or oatmeal
• 20g linseeds
• Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons cold-pressed rapeseed or sunflower oil

 
Simply whizz all of the ingredients in a food processor until they form a firm dough ball. Roll into individual truffle-sized balls and put into the fridge to "set". Place in cellophane bags tied with ribbon or pretty tissue-lined boxes for the perfect Mother’s Day treat. Keep cool and they’ll stay fresh for several weeks.
