That day I was sick of apples and pears – Goji berry orange bliss balls

Hey there!

 

Anyone looking for a delicious, healthy and super easy snack idea? Well, have you ever heard of bliss balls? You probably have, but I am sure you have never tried orange goji berry bliss balls that taste like absolute heaven. Those little treats are just so amazingly delicious. Though I am not sure, is it the goji berries that make them taste amazing, the pecans, the sun flower seeds? I don’t know. However I do know that the combination of all the three of them and the addition of orange peal, vanilla and cinnamon ends up tasting like the most delicious treat.

As I know it can sometimes be hard to get your hands on superfoods liek goji berries, especially when you live in a small town like mine I’ve also got a discount code of 10% (FANNY10) for the superfoods you can get on www.creativenaturesuperfoods.co.uk.  In this recipe I used their goji berries and cacao powder and I personally loved both products plus they got here in like no time at all, which is always a good thing. Yep, I am one of those impatient people that hate waiting for online orders…

 

 

There’s not much else I can tell you about these little delicacies so I guess I’ll just write down the recipe for you:

makes approx. 16 small bliss balls:

• 50g goji berries
• 25g pecans
• 25g sunflower seeds
• 1 vanilla bean
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• a dash of ground ginger
• 1tbs orange juice
• peal of ½ orange

to roll your bliss balls in:

• matcha powder
• cacao powder
• amaranth pops
• chia seeds

etc.

1. Add all your ingredients into a food processor and process until it has come together and the consistency resembles cookie dough and is easily mouldable into whatever shape you like.
2. Roll your “dough” into equally sized bliss balls. Roll them in whatever you like, to prevent them from sticking to everything. I decided to go with cacao powder, matcha powder, chia seeds and amaranth pops.
3. Eat and enjoy!

Voila, I mean that was pretty easy, right? I absolutely love those little raw treats as a snack, especially during wintertime when the variety of fresh fruit is rather limited in Switzerland. I mean come on, admit it, you kind of get sick of apples and pears after a while, don’t you? Well I do that is why I recently discovered the beauty of those delicious little bliss ball snacks. Sooooo why are you still here, reading this? You should already be standing in your kitchen throwing ingredients in your blender, so go off, get started!
