Bliss Balls: Coconut Chocolate + Protein (21 Day Fix Approved)

Is your sweet tooth always getting the better of you?  This simple Bliss Ball recipe will help you crush your sweet cravings in the most nourishing and tasty way possible. 

Bliss Balls: The Perfectly Clean Treat

Here’s why I think you’ll love these bliss balls.  They’re made with whole ingredients and no added sugar, but they’re still sweet, gooey and because they have protein in them, they’ll keep you satisfied, too.  I love this recipe because it takes no time (or talent) to make, and they’re so versatile.

How to get best results from this recipe

The trick to making these look as good as they taste is to roll them into perfect little bite-sized balls, then pop them in the freezer so they will keep their shape.  You can pull them out after 20 to 30 mins and store in the fridge after that.

Customize your bliss balls!

The best part about bliss balls is that you can mix and match your flavor combos.  Just keep the ratio of sweetness, protein and nut butter the same, but then add in whatever suits your fancy. 

Here’s a few ideas to inspire you...

• Vanilla protein + sugar free chocolate chips
• Chocolate protein + shredded coconut
• Chocolate protein + chia seeds
• Chocolate protein + cranberries
• Or skip the protein and add rolled oats or PB2 instead

The flavor combos are endless and because the ingredients are clean and simple, it’s a perfect snack for you and your kiddos.

Can you freeze bliss balls?

You sure can.  In fact, I recommend keeping them frozen.  They not only last longer, but you’re less inclined to over eat them if you have to wait for them to thaw.  

This is a trick I do with any treats I have in the house (which is rare). I store them in the freezer so they’re not quite ready to eat when cravings hit.  It prevents me from impulse eating.  Something I’m very tempted to do!

How to Make Bliss Balls

It’s really simple.  Just put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend.  You can also use a blender if you don’t have a food processor.

Can I use raw nuts instead of nut butter?

Absolutely!  If you find the consistency is too dry, try adding some coconut oil to the mixture so the balls are moist enough to stick together.  You could also use honey if you don’t mind the extra sugar.

Are Bliss Balls Healthy?

I saw this question on Google and I felt a need to answer it here.  Bliss balls are as healthy as you make them to be.  If you add ingredients like sugar, honey, chocolate chips, etc, then of course, you’re detracting from the nutritional value of the recipe below.

But even a few chocolate chips or dabbles of raw, natural honey won’t take away from the nourishment you’ll get from the protein, nuts and any other superfood you choose to add.  So don’t sweat the small stuff (like chocolate chips).

Bliss Balls are a 21 day fix approved recipe

If you're following the 21 Day Fix or Ultimate Portion Fix Meal Plan, one bliss ball is roughly a 1/4 protein and 1/2 an orange container.
