tahini bliss balls
These little balls do more than just taste good. Dates give quick energy, tahini and coconut slow it down, and cocoa makes the whole thing feel like a treat. They take 10 minutes, live in the freezer, and are exactly what you reach for when kids (or you) need a quick lift without turning into snack gremlins.
- 16 large Medjool dates, pitted
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 4 tbsp shredded coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
- Extra coconut for rolling
In a food processor, blend the dates + tahini until a sticky paste forms.
Add cocoa, flaxseed, coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Blend again until fully combined and sticking together.
If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water and blend briefly.
Roll into small balls, then roll each one in extra coconut.
Store in the fridge or freezer.
