A no bake energy bites recipe with just a few blissful ingredients!
Coconut Apricot Fig Bliss Balls…. or Bites! Okay, show of hands. Who could use some bliss in their life right now? Anyone? Bueller? If you are younger than 30 just ignore the Bueller comment. Ha ha!
In all seriousness, I am raising both hands and feet. Totally in need of more BLISS in my life! Bliss —> Meaning utter joy or contentment!
You see, in a month, I will be on vacation. I will be celebrating 10 years of marriage to this kiwi husband of mine. I will be done with all the cookbook editing and photos (um, hopefully), and I will be in a blissful state. State, as in state of HAWAII! Oh my goodness, I can’t wait. I need it, we need it. But that’s in a month. Right now, I still have lots to do, so my bliss will come in the form of food. Aka BLISS BALLS!
Yes, they are pure bliss for MANY things, but the main “blissful” reason is because these no bake energy bites were actually an original healthy bite flavor from 9 years ago! In fact, I used to sell them locally and ship. Crazy, huh? They make me so happy because they are truly an original and truly fueled and nourished many. Heart is full!
So that’s what I am going to HONE in on today. Blissful food to fuel your body, mind, and soul. That should keep me happy until vacation, right? LOL! I hope so.
Real Food FUEL –No Sugar Added Energy Balls)
Ingredients for Energy Balls
Okay, so about these bites. The fuel for body, mind, and soul. Let’s discuss.
Fuel for the body:
- Dried Apricot, California Mission figs, nuts (or seeds if that floats your boat), coconut, and a hint of sea salt and dark chocolate.
- No added sugars. Just pure ENERGY in the form of fruit. The dried apricots and Figs will help you to add more plant based iron to you diet.
- Sea salt is great for electrolyte balance. And the dark chocolate and nuts boost your antioxidant intake! Like whoa! Good stuff ya’ll.
Fuel for Meal Prep or Snack Prep:
- You don’t have think twice about making these. I mean really, all you do is blend and roll. Then keep in the fridge of freezer WEEKS on end. Stock your fridge and freezer for snacking ya’ll.
Simplicity makes my mind happy. Blissfully happy. Wouldn’t you agree?
Rest assured these bliss bites are the purest of pure. Nature’s candy doing it’s thing. Sweet, satisfying, nourishing, and delightful to snack on. Let’s not forget that those little nuggets of dark chocolate added are always good for the soul. Mmm k?
HOW TO MAKE BLISS BALLS:
I know what you’re thinking. Why in the world am I sharing the original healthy bite flavor? Shouldn’t I be guarding it with my life? Ya, probably. But here’s the thing. And don’t laugh too loud when I say this, but SHARING really is CARING! That and I totally believe in good karma. What goes around, comes around.
If I have recipe that is so simple, good, and healthy, I’m not gonna hold out on you all. You guys let me create recipesfor a living now, and for that, I am FOREVER grateful.
