Bliss Balls

Inspired by a recipe from a health cook book i had a go at making my own 'Bliss balls', healthy snacks and great for pre and post exercise or just to satisfy your hunger throughout the day!

1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup almonds
2/3 cup walnuts
1/4 cup pistachio's
1 cup dates
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 teaspoons cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 Tablespoons organic peanut butter
1/4 cup natural Greek yoghurt

Method

Combine almonds, walnuts and pistachio's in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs and mix in a large bowel with almond meal.
Combine dates and coconut in food processor (it will be hard to get these very fine and are still good chunky!) then add to the processor the vanilla essence, peanut butter, yoghurt and cacao powder until mixed.
Add to the nuts and mix until combined.
Roll balls in coconut or chopped nuts and enjoy! :)

You could add any nuts you like to this recipe, or any other ingredient really! I was addicted to the dates, coconut and vanilla essence alone and may simplify the recipe without the cacao next time. I added some yoghurt in case the mixture wasn't moist enough but they would have been fine without the yoghurt and may lbe kept for longer without it. I am storing mine in the fridge and freezing some for later :)
