What are bliss balls?

Bliss balls are an easy, delicious, and nutritious snack usually made with nuts, dates, coconut, oats and other simple ingredients.

They’re usually raw, and blended together to form an easy little bite perfect for on the go snacks, late night treats, or school lunches.

How to make lemon energy bites

Bliss balls are so easy to make which is one of the reasons I love them so much. All you have to do is all all of the ingredients to a food processor and process until no chunks remain.

Be careful not to over process because you don’t want the mixture to get too mushy. Once it’s processed, taste and add more lemon, vanilla or a pinch of sea salt if desired.

I use the smaller of these cookie scoops to scoop the bliss balls into even sized bites and roll them into balls.

You can then leave them as is or roll them in additional shredded coconut. Pop them in the fridge for 1-2 hours to chill and enjoy!

Bliss ball tips, tricks, and notes

• Once prepared, these lemon bliss balls will store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. They can also be frozen and will keep in the freezer for 1 month.

• MAKE SURE you remove the date pits before adding them to the food processor! I forgot this step once and it did not turn out well.

• To increase the protein content of this recipe you can add in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or collagen peptides.

• You can try making these bliss balls in a high speed blender like a vitamix, but you will get the best result using a food processor.

• After the “batter” is processed, you can add it directly to the fridge to set for about 1 hour. This will make it easier to roll into balls. Alternatively, you can roll them into balls right away, just get your hands slightly wet so the mixture doesn’t stick to your hands.
