WILD ORANGE JAFFA BLISS BALLS

Now if my entire family approves, then these Jaffa Bliss Balls must be delicious (and it’s not just me and my healthy cray cray madness!).

Easy to make, absolutely bursting with REAL flavor, and turbo charged with the immune boosting properties of WildOrange essential oil! No artificial citrus substitutes here… This is the real deal, using certified pure, therapeutic grade essential oils (and chemically tested to be free of chemicals, pesticides, fillers and synthetic materials). Woohoo! Can I get a high five for REAL FOOD?!

Wild Orange Essential Oil is detoxifying, antibacterial, full of vitamin C and the aroma just energises and lifts the spirit… You’ll be bouncing around with glee while making these handmade delights!



JAFFA BLISS BALLS

Dairy Free, Grain Free, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free, Paleo.

Makes: 8-10 bliss balls approx.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Fat & Calories: Who cares when you’re eating fantastically healthy! Come on!


Ingredients:

2 cups of cashews
1 heaped tablespoon of coconut oil*
20 medium sized pitted dates
1/2 cup of cacao*
Shredded Coconut


Method:

1.     Process the cashews and coconut oil until they form a paste.
2.     Add the dates and cacao to the processor and whizz everything again (the cacao will form a quick dust storm within the processor, so make sure the lid is on tight and securely until it mixes through).
3.     Once combined, add the 5 drops of Wild Orange and process until everything is mixed together well.
4.     Scoop out a small portion of the mixture and roll into 2cm diameter balls.
5.     Roll the balls in shredded coconut to add a nice textured, crunchy coating.

And ENJOY!

It’s that easy!

LEMON CHEESECAKE BLISS BALLS





WARNING: ADDICTIVE! 

If you love the taste of tangy lemon in sweet treats, then these bliss balls are most definitely for you!

With a smooth cheesecake-like consistency, a delicious syrupiness on the tongue, and a zesty lemon accent to finish the sensation, what more could you want to satisfy an indulgent craving? ANY indulgent craving?

Take a look at the ingredients, there are only five and they are wonderfully nourishing.

Cashews: Packed with protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese. With a high copper content, the consumption of cashews helps the body utilize iron and eliminate free radicals, develop bone and connective tissue, and produce skin and hair pigment melanin.

Almonds: Extremely high in Vitamin E - a powerful antioxidant that protects our cells from damage and helps to maintain a healthy heart and healthy blood vessels. Almonds are a great source of manganese, biotin, and copper. Almonds also provide a source of magnesium, vitamin B-2 and phosphorous.

Lemon: One raw lemon (without the peel) provides 51% of daily vitamin C needs as well as small amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and manganese.

Coconut Oil: The healthy fat that stops sugar cravings, boosts metabolism, supports immunity and aids digestion.

Dates: Iron for your blood, fibre for roughage, vitamin A for your eyes, potassium for your heart, B-vitamins, and tannins... Dates are one of the healthiest foods in the world!

I was pleasantly surprised (shocked) as to how good these tasted! Made from scratch from my own head… I have to admit, I was really proud of these special little treats. And now I am proud to share these with you!
