Recipe by Candice Ayar
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural Delights Medjool Dates, pitted
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- Tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for rolling) or white chocolate for dipping
Preparation
- Pit your Medjool dates. If your dates are firm, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes, so they are easier to blend.
- In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, almonds, blueberries, freeze-dried strawberries, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and sticky. You want it to hold together when pressed.
- Take a small amount (about a tablespoon) and roll it into a ball between your palms.
- In a shallow bowl, place the shredded coconut. Roll each bliss ball in the coconut to coat them evenly. Makes about 14-16.
- Place the coated bliss balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up. This will help hold their shape!
