Notes
Tips
- Be patient, just when you think the mix won't come together it will, just keep blending.
- If your food processor is not sturdy enough to blitz dried dates, soak your dates in warm water for around 10 minutes, drain them and add these softened dates to your bliss ball mix.
- Bliss balls will last in the fridge for up to 7 days, or they can be stored in the freezer for up to 4 months.

- Sunflower seeds: You can substitute the sunflower seeds for pumpkin seeds or your favourite nut, almonds and cashews work well.

- Cocoa: This can be substituted for cacao powder if you prefer.
- Coconut oil: The recipe will actually work with any mild flavoured oil.
