When I created these energy bliss balls, EXCITED would be an understatement to describe how I felt! I knew for quite a while that taking better care of my body was critical in feeling better.
However, I thought I’d always have to eat dull food to take care of myself properly…No wonder I was still in no rush to make the changes I needed to make.
But then everything changed the day I created these little bites of heaven…So delicious AND healthy AND filling…and packed with so much goodness! By eating these in replacement of my usual chocolate bars and cakes I started to feel so much better and saw a difference in my skin!
- Antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids from the seeds
- Fibre from the seeds and dates
- A metabolism boost from the coconut oil and shredded coconut
- Better blood sugar control from the maple syrup
- Digestion, immune and heart support from the cacao powder and nibs
And once I decorated them with shredded coconut, they looked as good as they taste. From then onwards I knew there was a way that healthy food could be exciting, delicious and filling.
I make these energy balls every single week. I eat them as a snack, before or post a workout, sometimes for dessert, or occasionally I have a couple for breakfast with a decaf almond milk latte after my daily hot water & lemon liver cleanser.
I find them just so versatile, quick and simple to make that I know I will never stop making and eating them…why would I?
Makes approx. 15 balls.
