High-Protein Bliss Balls With Almonds, Cashews and Dates

Classic Bliss Balls

Why We Love It: Classic Bliss Balls are a nutty and sweet high protein snack. This is a great pick me up in the middle of the day.

Makes 12

Ingredients

1 cup almonds
3/4 cup cashews
1/4 cup buckwheat
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
18 Medjool dates, pitted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
Optional: 1 scoop protein powder

Note: To add a more gooey texture, use a tablespoon of maple syrup.

Instructions

Add the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blitz. I stop before turning runny because I like some crunch to the balls.
On a big plate, coat the coconut and then roll the mix into balls, the size of your liking, and roll them in the coconut to cover. Store in an airtight container.
