Our easy, favourite recipe

Ingredients
500g Pitted dates
400g Dried fruit and nuts
(Tip: Macadamia nuts are perfect for nutty, textured frooze or bliss balls.)
200g Assortment of seeds
4 tbsp Baking Cocoa
Vanilla Essence (For different flavours, swap vanilla with peppermint essence or lemon juice to shake things up)
Desiccated coconut to coat
Method
Soak dates in boiling water for 15-30 minutes.
Mix dried fruit, nuts, and seeds in a food processor until they become breadcrumb-like, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Drain dates and place in the food processor along with baking cocoa and vanilla essence. Keep the remaining date water if you need to add more moisture later.
Blend until you have a smooth paste and combine with the dry mixture. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty; this is easier than your old wooden spoon.
Line a tray with baking paper.
Roll small balls using your hands and roll in coconut until totally coated and place on the tray.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before eating.
For best results, refrigerate overnight and store in airtight containers in the fridge.
