Nut-free, vegan, wheat-free, dairy-free, raw, and tasty! These pretty bliss balls are a suitable and wholesome lunchbox treat for sweet afternoon cravings.
Their eye-catching pink colour comes from the addition of beetroot. Besides colour, this root vegetable adds fibre, vitamins, and minerals. But don't worry; the flavour is mild and kid-friendly!
The balls are sweetened with dried Medjool dates for a wholesome alternative to refined sugars.
Lastly, we used gluten-free oats and coconut to bind the balls together. Plus, these healthy ingredients add even more nutrients, making for some completely guilt-free princess treats!
Make sure to store them in your fridge to keep them fresh for longer.
Makes around 20 bliss balls.
Ingredients:
- 5–6 large dried Medjool dates
- 1 medium, raw beetroot
- 2/3 cup GF oats (use regular oats if preferred)
- 2/3 cup coconut + extra for rolling (desiccated, flakes, or whatever you have on hand)
Method:
- In a food processor, blend the oats and coconut to a rough flour. Keep aside.
- Remove the top and tail from the beetroot and peel it. Roughly chop, add to the food processor, and blend until completely fine. Keep aside.
- Blend dates with 1/3 cup water until fine.
- In a bowl, mix together blended beetroot, dates, oats and coconut. Add more oats or coconut if too wet to roll.
- Roll into small balls and cover in extra coconut. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
