We love Bliss Balls or Protein balls at home. they make a great healthy snack, pre or post workout snack and perfect for school lunch boxes. Like smoothies you can be creative and make them with the nuts and flavours you like. But get some native foods and Manuka honey inspo below. 

Finger Lime and Coconut

We makes the bliss balls quite sweet and then you get a burst of the sour finger jewels (see image below) when you bite into them. They are so delicious!

1/2 cup Dates
2/3 cup of shredded coconut
3 tbsp of Manuka honey
5 Finger Limes
Zest of lime
Shredded coconut for rolling.

Method 

Put shredded coconut into blender and refine slightly, then remove. Place Cashews into food processor and blend until fine, add dates and honey blend until a smooth paste. Add mix, refined coconut and finger lime jewels to bowl and mix. Roll into balls of desired size, 10 or 20 cent piece is a good size. Then roll into plate of coconut to coat.

You can use regular lime instead using 3 tbsp of lime juice with pulp instead of finger limes.

If the mixture is too moist you can add extra coconut.
