Makes 15 bliss balls
10 Minutes to make
Ingredients:
1 cup of raw cashews
½ cup of rolled oats
2 tbsp of hemp seeds
8 Medjool dates
4 tbsp of nut butter ( I love cashew butter)
½ tsp of vanilla essence
Pinch of salt
6 tbsp of melted coconut oil
1 scoop of Go Good Vanilla protein powder
1/3 cup of dark choc chips
Add all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips to your food processor and blend until the mixture is sticky. It takes around 3-4 minutes and if you’re not getting there add in a little more melted coconut oil to help it along.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool down.
Then pour in chocolate chips and shape into balls.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
