Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cashews , or sub with preferred nuts
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds , or sub with preferred nuts
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut flakes
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates , tightly packed
  • 1/4 cup creamy cashew butter or preferred nut / seed butter
  • 1 tbsp plant-based protein powder , optional for added protein or sub with hemp seeds or ground flaxseeds. We like NuZest Just Clean or Sprout Living Pea Protein but you can use your favorite. We have not tested this with a Whey protein powder since we wanted to keep this recipe vegan but feel free to do so if it fits with your dietary preference. 
  • 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1-2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries (roughly chopped) + more for pressing
  • 1-2 tbsp dairy-free (no-sugar added as needed) white chocolate chips + more for pressing. We like Pascha's or Lily's Sweets (not dairy-free). Omit for strict paleo or sub regular if not dairy-free.

Instructions

  1. Add cashews, almonds, coconut flakes, dates, nut butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt to a food processor.

  2. Process ingredients until a sticky cookie dough forms. The dough should be pinch-able and stick together when you press it with your hands. Add more nuts or nut butter as needed to adjust the consistency and taste.

    Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Fold in strawberries and chocolate chips and mix to combine.

  3. Scoop into 1 tablespoon-sized balls and roll into 1 inch balls. (Chill mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes for easier rolling as needed).

    Press a few more strawberries and chocolate chips in each ball (to make them prettier), if desired.

    Store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge (for up to 1 week) or freezer for up to 3 months.

Recipe Notes

How to Store 

Keep your bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge. We personally love enjoying them once they've been chilled! They'll stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week.

How to Freeze

These bliss balls will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 1 month. Just remember to keep them in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Thaw frozen date balls in the fridge before enjoying.
