Bliss Balls

Just made a batch of Bliss Balls from EatSweatThink.com – AMAZING TREATS. The only addition I’ll make next time is 1 Tbsp. chia seeds for the added health nut fix! If you’re so inclined, check-out Lotty’s recipe.

Chocolatey Bliss Balls

These balls are a great little treat to have with a coffee for the chocoholics out there.  I have taken them into work as my offering when there is a pot luck morning tea and colleagues often mistake them for chocolate truffles and can’t believe it when I tell them that they are sugar-free.  They are so popular I get requests for them now.

Ingredients (Makes 14 to 16 balls)

• 1 cup of sultanas or dates
• 1/2 cup of almond meal & 1/4 cup of flax meal
• Grated zest of half an orange plus the juice of half the orange
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cacao powder 
• 1 scope of vanilla protein powder (you can sub this out for a tsp of vanilla extract if you don’t use or have protein powder)
• Coconut threads

1. Put all ingredients apart from orange juice and coconut threads in a blender and whizz for a few mins until the mixture is like a very thick paste and starts to ball up – if it’s too dry to mould into a ball add splash of the orange juice.
2. Shape mixture into small balls about the size of a walnut .
3. Toast coconut threads in a dry pan until then roll balls in the coconut.
4. Place balls in fridge for about an hour to harden.
