Everywhere you look there are bliss ball recipes. ย Most of them claiming to be uber healthy and to contain now refined sugar.

At first glance they seem like brilliant recipes. ย Simple to make and created from a combination of nuts and fruit.

However, when you delve deeper you realise that they are actually packed full of sugar from an incredible amount of dates; the ‘clean eaters’ sweetener of choice.

The problem? Well dates are made up of an incredible amount of sugar; 66g per 100g in the case of medjool dates, the most commonly used dates in these kinds of recipes (because of their super sweetness).

My solution?

Well, I came up with it after picking a host of strawberries from the garden, all of which contained holes due to the hundreds of wood lice lurking amongst the leaves.

I knew the kids would reject them, so I cut the holey bits out and then whizzed them up with some nuts.

If you are used to eating sugar and your strawberries aren’t very sweet then you might want to add some sweetener of your choice (I’m not going to tell you what you should or shouldn’t use!). ย Always try before you add it though because you might be surprised!

I then rolled up my mixture into little balls and coated them in desiccated coconut (to ensure that Mr M wouldn’t eat them all!) for the perfect healthy bliss ball.

The result? A lovely little mouthful of protein to keep you going for the afternoon.

Use the recipe as a base to make it your own. ย Roll in cacao, add some raspberries, use different nuts, use up some other fruit that you have a glut of.

You get the idea, now go forth and enjoy my bliss ball recipe.

    These sound amazing Vicki. I have a serious thing going for walnuts at the moment and I also adore pecans. I love that you have used ‘rejected’ strawberries as a sweetener too. How long do they keep for?

      They don’t keep for long because they get eaten! In all seriousness, they probably wouldn’t last more than about 4 days…

    Yum, I have some strawberries growing in the garden, a super idea.

      Glad you like the idea! They don’t last long so eat them up in a few days!

    […] isn’t one of my own recipes, this is a shout out to Free From Fairy and her Strawberry Bliss Balls. Oh my! they really are blissful, and the great thing about them is that they are totally sugar […]

Hi. I'm Vicki Montague, scientist and mum to 'Roo' (15) and 'Sunshine' (13). I'm a freelance recipe developer specialising in 'free from' food and spend many hours in my kitchen experimenting to create exciting healthy recipes that are all gluten-free & mainly dairy-free. In July 2016 I launched the world's first wholegrain, gluten-free and rice-free flour blends. In May 2018 I launched my first online programme to help people adapt to a gluten free life. I can be found at food festivals giving cookery demos and I love nothing more than teaching people how to cook and lead a positive wholesome life. Find out more about my story...
