Super Bliss Balls

(Vegan and V yummy too)


Ingredients (certified organic wherever possible)

· 5 large Medjool Dates or 5 to 6 large semi dried Prunes


· Half a teaspoon each of ground Nutmeg and Cinnamon


· One Tablespoon Raw Honey or Coconut Oil


· One Tablespoon Chia Seed


· One Tablespoon Raw Cacao powder (or use Berry Radical Superfood Antioxidant powder)


· Half a teaspoon of Spirulina (or Chlorella) powder (or use In-Liven Superfood powder)


· Half a cup of raw Cashews


· Quarter of a cup of raw Almonds


· Small handful of Walnuts


(you may of course choose to use a different combination of premium quality nuts, but avoid peanuts)

You will also need a half cup of Sesame Seeds, Quinoa Flakes, Coconut Flakes or crushed nuts for the coating


Method

· Pit the dates


· Add all the ingredients into a 1.8L or 1.5L food processor bowl


· Pulse to mix the ingredients and break up any big nuts


· Blend for about 30seconds to a workable consistency ie: so you can pinch the mixture together and it holds shape...you may want to add another half teaspoon of honey, coconut oil or apple juice, if it needs it.


· Turn off the processor at the wall and remove the blade


· Using a teaspoon, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them on the palms of your hands to form small balls


· Place them onto a plate with the Sesame Seeds


· Once you have rolled the mixture into balls, gently roll them on the Sesame Seeds to coat them, and put into a container to keep in the fridge.

These are powerpacked little bombs of nutrition! Take one or two for a quick midmorning/midafternoon energy boooooooooost, or, as a pack when hiking or walking. I find that even my small child can handle eating these as the nuts are already crushed up a fair bit.
Try using a little dusting of raw cacao to coat the bliss balls for a bitter-sweet hit…
now...wouldn’t that go well with some organic chai...
