Bliss balls are a great snack that you can prepare in advance and store in the freezer making them the ultimate “grab & go” snack when you are craving something naughty and they will NOT ruin your hard work while following a healthy eating plan.

But what exactly are bliss balls? They are made with a simple concoction of whole or raw ingredients, such as dates, oats and nuts, blended together and then rolled into a convenient ball and often sprinkled with desiccated coconut or crushed nuts.

Best of all, these little yummy balls contain a combination of carbs, protein, healthy fats and lots of fibre as well!
