Macadamia, cinnamon and maca bliss-balls

Bliss-balls make for a great afternoon treat. Well, they’re a great treat at any time of the day really, but it’s often the afternoon that some find themselves falling victim to the closest thing at hand because they’re lacking in energy.

These gorgeous bliss-balls will help with that as they contain macadamias for some good fats and maca for that little energy kick. There is also some evidence to suggest that cinnamon may stabilise blood sugar but more studies need to be done to confirm that. At any rate it tastes delicious so I include it in lots of things.

Macadamia, cinnamon and maca bliss-balls
Makes approx. 16 bliss-balls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup macadamias (I used activated)
  • 1 & 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 Tbsp maca powder (I used Loving Earth)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 7 dates

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into your blender then blend until the mixture is oily and sticks together but is still a little crumbly. Just pinch some between your fingers and make sure it sticks. If it’s too dry add another date or two, if it’s too wet add some more coconut.
  2. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls then roll in extra coconut and store in the fridge
