Call them what you like—energy bites, power balls, or healthy truffles, among others.

Best of all, there’s limitless potential for powerful wellness benefits couched into infinite tempting flavors.

Prepping these delightful bites is simple--just a quick blitz in the food processor, then rolling your mixture into balls. As versatile as they are easy to make, tweaking to taste and dietary needs is fun! While there are endless ingredient combinations, we like to start with a base of Medjool dates. With their naturally chewiness and caramel taste, these regal fruits offer sticky sweet binding and bulk while being rich in fiber and phytonutrients. Next, a hearty staple like oats, nut butter, or ground flaxseed lends further structure and nutrition while balancing out the sweetness. Finally, make the real magic happen with wellness and flavor boosting addends. 

Mix in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruits and seeds. Bliss balls are a perfect canvas, too, for your favorite wellness supplements. Among this trio, I’ve sprinkled Organic India’s Psyllium Pre & Probiotic Fiber for healthy digestion and overall wellness, Turmeric Formula for healthy joints and inflammation response, and superfood Moringa, one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet. Feel free to opt out, add in—anything goes! With such a tasty base and powerful goodness, you’re going to end up with wholesome deliciousness to fuel your adventures and to tailor as you please. Mix, match, and enjoy!
