How to make almond and date bliss balls
- Combine Ingredients: Place the almonds, dates, orange zest, cocoa powder, and a generous squeeze of orange juice into a food processor.
- Process: Blend the ingredients for 2-3 minutes until they come together and form a sticky, uniform mixture.
- Roll into Balls: Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Place on Plate: Arrange the bliss balls on a plate.
- Dust with Cacao: Lightly dust the bliss balls with cacao powder using a small fine-mesh sieve (not a thief!).
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate the bliss balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Enjoy!
Expert Tips:
– Clean Almonds and Dates: Wash and dry almonds before adding them to the food processor. Nuts often travel long distances before reaching our kitchens and may carry dirt or debris. Similarly, a quick wash of the dates with warm water is a great idea.
– Adjust Consistency: If your mixture seems too dry after processing and doesn’t hold its shape well, add a teaspoon or two of orange juice. This will help the mixture bind together more easily and form perfect bliss balls.
How to serve
Packed with crunchy nuts and sweet dates, these little energy bites are the perfect pick-me-up whenever you need a little boost. Enjoy them as:
- An afternoon snack: Keep a batch in the fridge for a quick, healthy treat between meals.
- A pre- or post-workout fuel: The natural sugars and protein will give you the energy you need to power through your fitness routine.
- A dessert: Their naturally sweet flavor makes them a guilt-free (gluten-free) dessert option.
- A lunchbox addition: These bliss balls are a fun and nutritious addition for kids’ and adults’ lunchboxes. Just make sure nuts are allowed.
The best part? You can feel good about enjoying these Orange Bliss Balls because they’re unprocessed and free of refined sugars.
❄️ How to store
We usually devour these Bliss Balls within a day or two, but if you have more self-control than my kids, you can definitely store them for later. They make a fantastic make-ahead snack!
- Refrigerate: Store the Orange Bliss Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They’ll stay fresh and delicious, ready for a quick energy boost whenever you need it.
- Freeze: For longer storage, freeze the Bliss Balls in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or for a few hours at room temperature before enjoying them.
