It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged and I’ve really been missing it! I promise I will be back to my regular weekly schedule very soon and in the mean time, I’ve teamed up with Thought Clothing again to share with you this tasty, healthy treat…
If you’re a fan of chocolatey-nutty flavours, then you will love these. In fact, I loved them so much that I had to give most of them to my neighbours because I couldn’t stand not eating the whole batch in one go.
These bliss balls are packed with; raw cacao for a chocolate flavour, dates for natural sweetness, walnuts and flaxseed, which provide plenty of omega 3 and protein to help keep your skin healthy and give you an energy boost too! If you’re put off by the flaxseed, I promise it tastes really good in this recipe. It’s natural nuttiness pairs wonderfully with the walnuts and earthiness of the cacao so you’re left with a really moreish chocolatey, nutty flavour and no bitter aftertastes :-)
