These Bliss Balls are made with nourishing ingredients that provide you with:

Fibre: assist with healthy gut and digestive function, keeps you fuller for longer and acts as a prebiotic to feed friendly probiotics. 

Healthy Fats: help to maintain a healthy cholesterol level, allow your body to absorb important nutrients and play a vital role to optimise hormonal health. Hemp seeds used in this recipe are also high in Omega 3 fatty acids that nourish your brain and skin barrier. 

Polyphenols: these are antioxidants to prevent oxidative damage on the body, reduce inflammation and help fight disease. High Quality Ceremonial Grade Matcha is one of the highest sources of polyphenols.

Caffeine: to enhance focus and alertness, promote metabolic functions and improve mood. Caffeine found in Matcha is longer lasting compared to coffee, thanks to the beneficial amino acid L-theanine found in Matcha. 

 

Ingredients you need:

  • 1 TBSP Ceremonial Grade Matcha
  • 1 cup of pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup almond meal/flour (substitute with desiccated coconut if you want nut-free)
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (substitute with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds if you want nut-free)
  • 1 TBSP water/almond milk/soy milk
  • Additional: desiccated coconut or sesame seeds for outer coating

 

How to:

  1. Soak pitted dates in warm water to moisten for 5 minutes.
  2. Add all ingredients to food processor and pulse until it forms a course paste like texture. If it is too crumbly, add a splash of water. If it is too moist, add a TBSP almond flour at a time. 
  3. Line a small tray with baking paper. Roll the mixture into bite size balls (about golf ball size). Roll them in sesame seeds, desiccated coconut or hemp seeds. Makes roughly 6-8 balls. 
  4. Best to refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or overnight before eating. 

 

Enjoy :)
