MACADAMIA BLISS BALLS

MACADAMIA BLISS BALLS

These bliss balls are full of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and are a great source of fibre. The tahini and linseeds give an added boost of phytoestrogens which are great for women with low oestrogen levels……. HELLO MENOPAUSE!!!!

One of these bliss balls per day will help boost your energy and stop you from reaching for that extra coffee, chocolate bar or pack of chips. Best of all they taste divine and are so easy to make!!

16 meejool dates

1 cup raw macadamias

1/3 cup raw almonds

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons ground linseeds (flaxseed)

3 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Desiccated coconut for rolling (optional)

METHOD

Place nuts in a kitchen whizz and process into fine pieces. Add dates, tahini and ground linseeds and process for another 30 seconds. Add coconut oil and process again until well mixed.

Roll into small balls (I use disposable gloves for this) then roll in coconut if using. Place in fridge for at least 1 hour to set. These freeze really well, just defrost them in the fridge.
