Low Sugar Bliss Balls

I love bliss balls - or energy balls as some call them. They are practical healthy snacks on the go.  However they tend to be made with lots of dates or other healthy sugars. I wanted to make a low sugar recipe for my twins using natural ingredients. I am also planning on featuring more kids recipes as we have now moved away from easy purees and into toddler/adult foods. They are also full of nutrient dense wholesome ingredients that I had in my pantry at the time. They make the perfect afternoon snack for little hands. I hope your little ones enjoy them!

My twins are good at eating and biting solid food now but make sure your little one won't choke on them before giving it to them. Bigger is better so they don't swallow them all!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of rolled oats;
• 1/2 cup of LSA (or flaxseed only for nut-free bliss balls);
• 1/3 cup of chia seeds;
• 1/3 cup of raw cashews or other nuts (or use sunflower seeds for nut-free bliss balls);
• 1/2 cup of dried goji berries; (best to use organic if possible)
• 2 tbsp of melted coconut oil;
• 1 tsp of cinnamon powder;
• 1/4 cup of desiccated coconut;
• 2 tbsp of water (or more if needed);

Steps:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients in the food processor;
2. Then add the coconut oil and water;
3. Roll the balls in your hands and keep them in the fridge to set and keep or keep in the freezer.
