Choc Mint Bliss Balls
Growing up, I’d get a Tim Tam or Mint Slice biccie once every so often, and gees did I savour the taste. These choc mint bliss balls aren’t quite the same, but they’re not far off! The best thing is that they’re jam-packed with nutrients (so you can have seconds or even thirds!), to regulate blood sugar levels, support healthy hormones and promote bowel regularity!
Like the other bliss ball recipes I’ve shared, these contain the three macronutrients - carbs-fibre, fats and protein, to keep you satiated, regulate mood, support healthy hormones, promote recovery + muscular health and support a thriving gut microbiome.
Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups almonds or cashews
10 medjool dates, seeds removed
1/4 cup cacao powder
8 drops therapeutic-grade peppermint essential oil (I use doTERRA essential oils)
Pinch salt
Optional - 2 tablespoons of collagen powder
Method:
Put the nuts in the blender and blitz for 10 seconds
Add remaining ingredients and blitz until smooth
Roll into bite-size balls and place in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to ‘set’
Enjoy!
