What is a bliss ball?

Bliss balls, also called energy balls, energy bites or protein balls, are a portable healthy snack made from nutritious natural ingredients that are blended together and rolled into balls. They have the following benefits:-

  • They’re free from inflammatory refined sugar, preservatives and artificial flavours that store bought snacks often contain.
  • A great source of fibre to help keep us full and essential vitamins and minerals.
  • Quick and easy to make.
  • Can be flavoured in countless different ways.
  • Are small in size, so perfect for on the go.
  • Great for meal prep as a large number can be made in just 5 minutes with minimal effort.
  • Raw bliss balls don’t require any cooking or baking, meaning they maintain all their nutritional value and digestive enzymes. This makes them easier to digest and allows us to absorb a greater amount of nutrients.

 

Ingredients

Bliss balls are typically made with dried fruit, nuts and grains. This healthy bliss ball recipe replaces nuts and grains with the following alternative ingredients to make nut free bliss balls that are also grain free and paleo friendly:-

  • Green banana flour (UK Link/US Link). This is a great source of resistant starch, which feeds the good bacteria in the gut, improving digestion and supporting our immune system. It’s also high in essential vitamins and minerals like potassium, magnesium and zinc.
  • Wild blueberry powder (UK Link/US Link). Wild blueberries contain double the amount of antioxidants and have a stronger flavour than regular blueberries, as well as being a concentrated source of various vitamins and minerals.
  • Lemons are a good source of vitamin C, which supports the immune system.
  • Medjool dates (UK Link/US Link). These provide natural sweetness to make refined sugar free bliss balls.
