Bliss Balls

Bliss balls

Quite simply if you don’t have time to faff around making breakfast or you need something to give you a boost when you’re on the move – these little bliss balls are amazing.

I’ve made a huge batch up for breakfast the rest of the week because I know it’s a busy one and without them I’ll end up living on coffee or air so they really are the perfect busy girl solution.

These little balls of goodness are great because they’re no fuss, no baking, no long winded prep. It’s simply a case of whizzing up the dates and dumping them in the bowl with the rest of the mixture. What more could you want? Oh yeah and numerous health benefits as they are full of protein, fibre and vitamins and minerals that will leave you feeling full all morning, give you a big, old energy boost and they’re super easy to transport so great for taking to work.

This recipe makes 12 large balls

What you need to make the bliss balls:

  • 2c of pitted dates (I use medjool and it works out about 14/15 dates)
  • 1/4c warm water (to start with)
  • 3/4c oats
  • 1/2c coconut flakes (you’ll need a bit more for rolling)
  • 1/4c sesame seeds
  • 1/4c chopped almonds
  • 1/4c chia seeds

Just place all the ingredients in a whizz. I like to add a teaspoon of chia seeds too for an extra thick shake.
