The energy/bliss bite obsession continues . . .

May I present you with the first (of many I am sure) bliss/energy bite recipes for 2015 . . .

Healthy, no-bake blueberry cream pie energy bites.

You guys have been busy, busy on Pinterest these last few weeks, pinning the healthy, no-bake energy/bliss bites recipes like cah-razy. Especially our strawberry and cream cashew cookie bites . . . which gave me a delicious little idea . . .

Take out the strawberries and throw in some blueberries because well, why not?!

You guys . . . simply changing the berries from strawbs to bluebs . . .

oh

my

word!

When I tell you these babies taste like blueberry cream pie I mean it!

like for reals . . .

Buttery cashews are combined with plump and juicy medjool dates, a splash of vanilla to replicate that buttery, sweet pie crust base.

Then we throw in some freeze dried blueberries and there you have it –

Simple, healthy, no-bake, buttery sweet, vanilla spiked, creamy, dreamy blueberry pie baby!
Not only do our freeze dried blueberries add an awesome, antioxidant rich, subtly sweet, berrylicious burst of flavour but, they also happen to give our energy bites a nice little crunch which I just adore.

One bite and you will see our creamy, dreamy, blueberry-vanilla infused bites of deliciousness are plump and chewy with a cool, crisp crunch. A texture lovers dream!

As always our energy bites are all natural, made with no refined flours or sugars. They are sweetened naturally with those magical medjool dates, a splash of vanilla and of course those crispy, crunchy freeze dried blueberries. It doesn’t get much simpler really! ♥♥♥

All natural, secretly healthy, insanely delicious blueberry pie that comes together in a matter of minutes!

5 simple, real food ingredients, 5 minutes in your food processor or blender and 5 mins until they are ready to be inhaled devoured enjoyed.

No need to pre-heat your oven, or mess with rolling, kneading, resting pie dough, no siree.

Simply throw everything into your blender or food processor, and let it do the work for you. Just blend/process until you have yourself a deliciously sticky “ball” of buttery sweet, vanilla spiked, blueberry infused pie “dough” and you are ready to rock and roll baby.

And I mean that literally, just pinch off some of your “dough” (I use approx 1 heaping teaspoon per bliss bite) – roll and eat.

6 medjool dates*, pits removed

1/2 cup freeze dried blueberries

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

If you find your dates are a little dry, try soaking them in warm water for 10 mins prior to blending. Alternately you could add a little water, 1 teaspoon at a time if your “dough” doesn’t seem to be coming together after a minute or two as it should.
