Lemon coconut bliss balls with no dates are perfect for those who want to make bliss balls but aren’t a fan of dates. Because for a sweet snack, you can’t beat a bliss ball. They’re quick to make, contain mostly nutrient dense ingredients, they keep well and they’re also delicious! For a change from your typical chocolate flavour bliss balls, I created these lemon coconut bliss balls which have a delicious zing to them. I know there are quite a few people that are not a fan of dates, so these lemon coconut bliss balls have no dates – which also lets the yummy lemon flavour shine through. I used less nuts and added coconut and sunflower seeds which make these a bit friendlier on the budget too.
I like to keep a jar of bliss balls in the fridge to grab when I feel like something sweet and I grab a few out to take to work most days. I’ve made a few different flavours lately that I’ll share with you soon! But for now, here’s the recipe for the lemon coconut bliss balls (with no dates!).
