Print Recipe
women's bliss bites

Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup dates, pitted - Up 1 cup if they're not sweet enough for your taste
  • 4 tbsp almond butter - 3 tbsp if you use the larger amount of dates; sub in tahini if you don't eat nuts
  • 1/4 cup dark cacao powder - dark unsweetened + 1 tbsp for dusting
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut - the finely ground kind
  • 2 - 4 tbsp maca powder
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • Optional: orange zest

Instructions

  • Put the walnuts into your food processor and grind until they are close to finely ground
  • Add in the dates and grind to form a thicker blend
  • Add in the almond butter and mix until a dough forms. Sometimes you might have to add a little extra to get the dough to form nicely
  • Add in the 1/4 cup of cacao powder, your maca, cardamom, and cinnamon until well mixed
  • Remove your blade from your food processor, then form round balls using about 1 tbsp of “dough” per ball.
  • Roll these in your hands, then roll in the extra cacao powder, coconut flakes and optionally, the orange zest
  • Place on a platter or into a glass storage container for later enjoyment.

Notes

These can be eaten straight away or kept in the fridge and enjoyed over the next 3-4 days. They can be taken anywhere in a small storage container.
They are safe to enjoy while trying to conceive (and may even help in that department!) and while breastfeeding; during pregnancy you can enjoy them but sans the maca.
Makes 16.
Serving size: 2-4 Bliss Bites per day
