I love this no bake recipe. So simple to make and protein rich thanks to the addition of cashew nuts and cashew nut butter. It is also grain free making it paleo friendly. A great healthy treat. Make up a big batch, cut it up into bars and freeze. Delicious straight from the freezer.

I’ve pinched this recipe from the amazing Christine, over at christinebailey.co.uk. She’s got many great recipes on her website so do check it out!
