Chocolate, Mint and Coconut Bliss Balls







Whether you want to hit that afternoon sweet craving  or need a quick energy boost pre-workout, these little balls have got you covered!

Like previous Bliss Ball recipes I have posted (see here, here and here... yes I'm apparently a fan!) these bad boys are packed with healthy fats and protein but are also quite calorie dense, so try not to eat the whole batch in one sitting! Everyone can use a willpower workout every now and then right?!

Any who, I whipped these up in a bit of a hurry today (hence why the photos were taken on my new phone...my bad) and they were balled up and chilling in the fridge in 5 minutes flat. It doesn't get much quicker than that folks. Plus they are gluten and dairy free so even those with delicate stomachs can have at it.       

 Enjoy!



 

Chocolate, Mint and Coconut Bliss Balls 

Ingredients:

1 cup pitted dated
1 cup raw nuts (I used a mix of cashews and walnuts)
1/4 cup dried coconut
1/4 cup cacao
1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (loosely packed)
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Makes about 15 balls depending on the size



Throw everything in a food processor and blitz until well chopped. Roll into individual sized balls and eat as they are or refrigerate to firm up. 

That's it! So freakin simple!
