Peppermint Bliss balls

A great breakfast or snack with a piece of fruit. Each bliss ball is nutrient dense- packed with antioxidants, minerals, fibre, good fats and protein. Make a whole batch, store in the fridge and grab one as you head out the door. No more excuses that there is not enough time for breakfast!

Peppermint Bliss Balls:
500 grams dates- pitted
2 handfuls raw almonds
1-2 handfuls of other raw nuts (brazil, walnuts, cashews)
1/3 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup cacao nibs (optional)
1/2 cup shredded coconut plus extra for coating (organic is best)
1-2 teaspoons peppermint essence
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal or LSA
1 handful of pepitas (optional)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
water as needed (roughly 1/2 cup)
2 large tablespoons of coconut oil (doesn’t matter if it’s melted)

Put all ingredients into a food processor, except the extra coconut and the water.
Pulse and add water slowly, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides. Add water as needed until the mixture is combined and a little sticky and crumbly. Roll into even sized balls and roll in coconut. Store in a container in the fridge.
