Raw Jaffa Bliss Balls

Ingredients

• 1 cup cashews/almonds

• 1 cup coconut

• 1 cup dates

• 3-4 tbsp coconut cream

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• Juice and zest of 1 orange (or 4 drops of therapeutic grade essential oil)

• 1/4 cup cacao powder

Process

• Place all ingredients in a blender/thermie/food processor.

• Blend on high to combine to desired consistency. ** If you’d like a smooth creamy mixture, blend the nuts and coconut first to make a nut meal.

• Line a plate with baking paper and wet your hands.

• Scoop approx 1 tablespoon of bliss mixture and roll in your hands to form a ball.** For the lazy version, line a baking tin with baking paper. Scoop the mix of the tray and flatten out.

• Place in fridge/freezer until set. If you’re making the lazy version, then use a warm knife to cut into mini squares or logs.
