What a better way to be kinder to yourself than by snacking happy. Treats that are deeply nourishing and more importantly bring an instant smile to your face.
I just happen to believe that bliss balls are the healthiest and yummiest snacks in the whole wide world.
Bliss Balls Are Easy To Make – I Promise:
There’s no cooking, no fussing and no lengthy preparation time. They are literally a no brainer. Children could even make them.
Simply throw your ingredients into the blender, wiz away and then roll into balls. Some bliss ball recipes don’t even use a blender – simply chop, mix and roll.
Recipe One: Chocolate (cacoa) and Cashew Bliss Ball:
1/2 to 1 cup of cashews blended until smooth ( or you can cheat and buy cashew butter)
2 tablespoons of agave nectar (a natural sweetener extracted from the Mexican agave plant) or swap for honey or rice syrup
1 tspn vanilla extract
4 – 8 dates (to your taste)
2 tablespoons organic cacoa
Optional: roll in coconut
Recipe two: Coconut and Almond Bliss ball:
1 cup of raw almonds
1/2 cup of sunflower kernels
A small handful of pitted dates
A small handful of sultanas
2 – 4 tablespoons of honey
Roll in desiccated coconut (what the heck, add some coconut into the bliss ball as well)
Recipe three: Sesame Bliss Balls:
I borrowed this recipe from Deepak Chopra’s newsletter. Deepak explains that the sesame bliss balls promote a healthy digestion and purify the body – mind.
1 cup toasted sesame seeds
½ cup golden raisins or regular raisins
2 teaspoons ground ginger powder
2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1½ teaspoons ground cardamon
2½ tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) (I use and prefer ghee most of the time for my cooking)
Recipe four: Tahini Bliss balls:
These are one of my favourites bliss balls with a rougher surface. The best part is no blender.
1 cup of rolled oats
1/2 cup of tahini
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
2 – 4 tablespoons of honey
My Secret To Yummy Bliss Balls:
Quality ingredients. Quality ingredients. Quality ingredients
Organic is best with pesticide free being second best. The taste is better and the nutritional value higher.

Great reciepes. thanks a bunch for em.
Can you please tell me what is the average cost for a batch of bliss balls.
I am budgeting for a party, tight purse.
Thanks in advance.
No spam please.
@abhay
I buy all organic so probably not the most cost effective way to cook for a party.
I’m also in Australia so the costs will be different depending on what part of the world you are from.
Perhaps you could just test run a small batch for the party – cost wise.
Sorry I couldn’t help any more.
