Amaze Balls! Ten amazing bliss ball recipes
Aptly named, as these little balls of flavour are very blissful.
They are fantastic as a healthy alternative to lollies for kids (and big kids).
Bliss balls are great to pop in lunch boxes or to have after dinner if you have a sweet craving.
Just remember that most bliss balls do contain a lot of dried fruit and nuts so are a concentrated form of nutrients.
Try to restrain yourself to one or two.
I put mine in the freezer so I am not tempted, although they do taste good frozen!
Okay, so here are my pick of the best bliss balls around:
These are my Choc-Hazel Bliss Balls (they taste a bit like Ferrero Rocher!)
Lime and Goji Bliss Ball from Simone at Nourishing Hub.
Mesquite Raw Truffle Ball by Sarah at The Raw Food Mum
Bliss Balls from Iwa at Additive Free Bites.
Frangipani Balls from Collette at Cut out the Crap
Apple and Cinnamon Bliss Balls from Brenda Janschek Health and Lifestyle.
Chia Coconut Bites from Jodi at Hot Pink Chilli
Strawberry Ripe Balls from Jane at Marinya Cottage Kitchen.
Lemony Balls from The Nourished Psychologist
Raw Choc Chip Cookie Dough Balls from Jo at Quirky Cooking
Bonus recipe: My Pecan Salted Caramel Truffles.

I have also been experimenting with a date, cacao, coconut oil and dried blueberry combo which has been awesome…the more superfoods the better, right?
thanks Jules! I love dried blueberry – have you found some without additives?
OOh yummy – some fresh balls to try :O

Thanks for the tip about putting them in the fridge! Last time I made these I scarfed them in 2 days because they are just too tempting. I think I’ll be making a couple of batches this weekend…
yes they are tempting !!! let me know which ones you make Alison 🙂
Amazeballs indeed! I love anything that is round and resembles chocolate… I’m going to work my way through this list. Here is a recipe from the The Gawler Foundation for almond and fruit truffles, which are so easy to make that I always feel like I’ve missed a step and am pleasantly surprised that they still taste fab:

Thank you so much for all these recipes. I had been looking everywhere for protein ball recipes, similar to what I found in one of the Boost Juice shops down in Melbourne. Now I am in Bliss Ball heaven! Can’t wait to try these. Thanks again 🙂
yay Deb! If you want protein, be sure to add chia seeds and I also like inca inchi powder from Changing Habits for protein. 🙂
Yum!
