These have been my go-to treats for as long as I can remember. Perfect for a bit of an energy-boost when 3pm strikes!<\/p>\n<p>Bliss balls are a natural treat made from raw, whole food ingredients &ndash; pulsed together and rolled into balls.<\/p>\n<p>The core ingredients are always the same: dried fruits such as Medjool dates, raisins and dried apricots, and nuts and seeds such as cashews, almonds, chia and coconut.<\/p>\n<p>[bctt tweet=\"3pm Bliss Balls with cacao, fresh mint + spirulina &ndash; the perfect healthy afternoon snack!\" username=\"laurenglucina\"]<\/p>\n<p>From there, you can literally spike them with anything &ndash; think superfoods such as cacao or lucuma, adaptogenic powders like <a href=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/ashwagandha-sleep-tonic\/\">Ashwagandha<\/a>, mineral-rich herbs such as <a href=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/3-iron-rich-herbs\/\">nettle<\/a>, or immune-boosting <a href=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/chaga-mushroom-hot-chocolate\/\">medicinal mushrooms like Chaga<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The combinations are endless &ndash; go wild!<\/p>\n<p>This particular bliss ball recipe contains some of my favourite functional foods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cacao powder and nibs:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/raw-cacao-nutrition-and-health-benefits\/\">cacao<\/a> is a mood-boosting superfood. It contains an amino acid called tryptophan, the precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is a natural mood stabiliser &ndash; regulating moods, anxiety, happiness and sleep. It&rsquo;s also a wonderful source of the mineral magnesium, affectionately known as the <em>mind mineral, <\/em>as it is a co-factor in the synthesis of both serotonin and dopamine. The other thing I just adore cacao for &ndash; is its rich source of polyphenols, which act as local antioxidants in the gut lumen, whilst providing a fuel source for our friendly bacteria.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medjool dates:<\/strong> this particular variety of dates are the absolute best in making bliss balls because they&rsquo;re just so darn juicy. Benefits: a natural sweetener with vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and antioxidants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh mint:<\/strong> delicious &ndash; but also a fantastic digestive-soother. Mint and peppermint are both classed as carminatives for their ability to help reduce griping and intestinal gas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spirulina:<\/strong> an incredibly nutrient-dense blue-green algae. Spirulina is a <a href=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/protein-plant-based-diet\/\">complete protein<\/a>, a great source of <a href=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/iron-on-a-plant-based-diet\/\">plant-based iron<\/a>, and contains potent antioxidants with anti-inflammatory effects. A wonderful booster to add to bliss balls and smoothies &ndash; safe for the entire family, even during pregnancy and lactation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to make Bliss Balls<\/h2>\n<p>There is really not much that can go wrong when making bliss balls, which is why they&rsquo;re just so awesome.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls.jpg\" alt=\"Food processor with all the ingredients for bliss balls inside ready to pulse\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"3pm Bliss Balls are the ultimate plant-powered snack, with juicy Medjool dates, cacao nibs, mint and spirulina. #blissballs #energyballs #energybites #proteinballs #AscensionKitchen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Add everything to the food processor, pulse, roll into balls, done!

Freeze dried fruit powders are also fun<\/li>\n<li>If you have food-safe essential oils (I use and trust <a href=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/buy\/\">doTERRA, available for purchase here<\/a>), a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil in place of the fresh mint is just delicious<\/li>\n<li>Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13005 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3.jpg\" alt=\"Freshly made energy balls on a wooden board\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"3pm Bliss Balls are the ultimate plant-powered snack, with juicy Medjool dates, cacao nibs, mint and spirulina. #blissballs #energyballs #energybites #proteinballs #AscensionKitchen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13001 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of young Lauren in 2013\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-pin-description=\"3pm Bliss Balls are the ultimate plant-powered snack, with juicy Medjool dates, cacao nibs, mint and spirulina. #blissballs #energyballs #energybites #proteinballs #AscensionKitchen\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3pm-Bliss-Balls-8.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy this particular combo &ndash; this is actually a vintage recipe of mine!
