These apricot and almond rice balls are rich in carbohydrate and healthy fats, and provide fantastic energy to prevent you bonking on long rides.
Individually wrapped, I’d recommend stopping to eat them rather than trying to unwrap one-handed while still cycling!
Combine the almond butter, apricots and lime zest in a small bowl.
Cut 10, 10cm x 10 cm squares of cling film, place 1tsp of cooked rice into each square and then spoon a small amount (less than ½ tsp) of the almond butter mixture in the middle of the rice and then cover with a little more rice.
Wrap the cling film around the mixture to form a parcel, and shape the rice into a ball. Twist the top to form a tight seal.
Refrigerate to help the balls firm up. Peel off the cling film, and enjoy!
