Makes approx 20 {bite size} subtly sweet, soft & chewy, deliciously buttery, perfectly spiced, blissful bites of deliciousness!
Ingredients –
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1 Tablespoon of vanilla
2 Tablespoons of almond butter
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
A pinch of salt
Optional add ins;
1 teaspoon of maca powder – For hormone balance
2 scoops of collagen (1 tsp bone broth concentrate) – for gut healing goodness
1-2 scoops of protein powder – (vanilla or unflavored would work best in this recipe)
1 Tablespoon of Uplift food – pre-biotocs
1 teaspoon of reishi – to help calm the nervous system & my busy brain
Optional for serving –
Finely shredded coconut flakes
Beet powder
Method –
1 – Optional but highly (HIGHLY) recommended – Place your almonds and cashews on to a lined baking tray and roast at 175’C/350’F for 5-10 mins until lightly toasted, gloriously golden and deliciously fragrant.
2 – While your nuts are toasting – place your dried blueberries in to a small bowl and pour over enough boiling water to ensure they are all fully submerged. Set aside for 2-3 minutes.
3 – Once your nuts are nice and toasted, place into your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.
4 – Drain your dried blueberries, add to your food processor and process until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky “dough”.
5 – Add vanilla, cinnamon, salt along with any optional extras you’re using, then process again until combined.
6 – Using your hands, roll approx 1 Tablespoons worth of dough into bite size balls then set aside – FYI – I like to make my bites on the smaller side. You would probably need 3 of mine to make up one of those golf ball size bites you buy at cafe’s or in stores.
7 – If you are going to coat your bliss bites simply place your beet powder & coconut shreds into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gentle press/shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Enjoy xo
