Bliss balls are a healthy and filling snack. They can also be eaten as breakfast on the run and are more nutritious than your toast or cereal!
Ingredients
1 cup of raw nuts of your choice - I love to use cashew nuts or almonds
1 tray / 10 medjool dates pitted - these are the fresh dates you buy at your local fruit market/store
½ cup buckwheat buckinis - these little seeds make the bliss balls crunchy
¼ cup cacao powder
¼ cup cacao nibs
¼ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup goji berries (optional)
¼ cup dried blueberries (optional)
¼ cup hemp seeds (optional!)
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
¼ cup of melted cacao butter or ¼ cup of melted coconut oil (or half of each)
Any other ingredients of your choice - you can experiment with maca powder, protein powder, dried fruit, seeds
Instructions
Blend the raw nuts in a food processor until they quite finely grounded.
Add all the other dry ingredients to the food processor and blend until combined.
Add the dates, peanut butter and melted cacao butter/coconut oil to the food processor and blend until the mixture sticks together.
Roll into balls using an icecream scoop and freeze / refrigerate. Alternatively, press the mixture into a lined brownie pan and place in fridge until firm before slicing.
Enjoy! They last in the fridge for a couple of weeks or you can freeze them until the day (if there are any left!).
