Bliss Balls


The name says it all. These babies can so easily be eaten up daily by my little familia, though that may be a little bit excessive. We're still trying to tell ourselves that we aren't addicted to peanut butter...that we can quit anytime we want, but this recipe makes it hard to do. See for yourself.







BLISS BALLS

Makes around 10 balls

Ingredients:

2 heaping tbspns peanut butter (the all natural and organic kind, of course), or almond butter
2 tbspns raw cacao powder, carob powder, or cocoa powder
1 1/2-2 tbspns raw honey
coconut flakes

1. Mix peanut butter, cacao, and honey until you have a sturdy dough. Start out with less honey and taste for sweetness and add more if necessary.
2. Roll into small balls.
3. Sprinkle coconut flakes onto a plate and roll the balls in the flakes so that each ball is coated.

* You can easily throw in other goodies here, for example hemp protein powder, hemp seeds, ground flaxseeds, oats, etc. If you do this just make sure to mix any dry add ins with the cacao powder first before stirring into the peanut butter and honey.
