When midday munchies strike, good eating habits get defenestrated, which is why I love healthy bliss balls. These scrummy energy bites (or laddoos) are easy-peasy and gloriously delicious. Fresh and light, theyโ€™re nutty, gooey, naturally sweet, and look gorgeous!

WHAT ARE BLISS BALLS?

Bliss balls, energy balls, or protein balls are popular and convenient candy-like snacks made from a mixture of various nutritious ingredients. These small, bite-sized treats are refined sugar-free and not baked; instead, they are often chilled or refrigerated to hold their shape.

Filled with the goodness of almonds, coconut, and dates, these no-bake balls are a fantastic option for those looking for a quick and healthy snack. However, coconut bliss balls are by no means a low-calorie food.

But then, I was never a calorie counter. I believe in the quality of calories consumed and portion control. A little bit of moderation goes a long way toward good health. And who am I to complain when I'm eating goodies that are loaded with healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and fiber and are so tasty?

WHY TRY THIS EASY NO-BAKE RECIPE?

Zero cooking required

Just the snack for 3 PM, post-workout, study sessions, or anytime hunger pangs

Fantastic healthy Diwali recipe, especially because the festival brings a flux of heavy sweets and desserts, and itโ€™s nice to have something lighter to serve and enjoy!

Ingredients for Coconut Almond Bliss Balls

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT ALMOND BLISS BALLS?

Step 1: Blend your soaked dates (without the water), almonds, desiccated coconut, flax seeds, and rose water in your food processor or blender till you have a smooth, sticky dough-like consistency.

Step 2: Taste test. If you like sweeter almond bliss balls, add a few drops of your sweetener of choice (maple, agave, or honey). I didn't add any sweetener.

Step 3: Shape the healthy bliss balls into equal-sized balls and then roll them in a mixture of coconut and beetroot powder and finely chopped pistachios till theyโ€™re wearing a nice thick coat.

Step 4: Serve or store the coconut-almond balls.

ALMOND COCONUT BALLS INGREDIENTS & TIPS

  • Desiccated coconut is easily available online and in grocery stores. Pick up the unsweetened version.
  • Dates need to be pitted and soaked in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften them. Donโ€™t throw the water. If your coconut-almond bliss ball dough feels too crumbly, add the date water to get the consistency right. Itโ€™ll help bind the mix. 
  • Flax seeds are a great source of dietary fiber, so you donโ€™t get a sugar spike and get sustained energy.
  • Use whole almonds (no soaking, blanching, or peeling necessary) or almond meal or flour. If the bliss ball dough is overly sticky or wet, add flax seed powder, almond meal, or flour to it.
  • If your blender is not strong enough to pulse all the ingredients together, powder the almonds before you throw in the rest of the ingredients for the bliss balls.

STORING & SERVING ROSE BLISS BALLS

Store these vegan bliss balls in an airtight box in the fridge, so they remain firm. Theyโ€™ll last a good week.

I had beetroot powder on hand. Mixed with desiccated coconut, it gives a pretty pink hue. Powdered dried rose petals will work just as well. They, mixed with rose water, lend the bliss balls a lovely floral note, bringing a festive feel to the air.

Donโ€™t want to bother with the pink decorations? Plain desiccated coconut or finely chopped nuts are excellent toppings too. Finely chopped pistachios or almonds are lovely.

WAYS TO ENJOY THIS BLISS BALL RECIPE

  • On-the-go: Bliss balls travel really well, so theyโ€™re perfect for lunchboxes, walking breakfasts, picnics, or on-the-road pick-me-ups.
  • Packed with nutrition, they make an epic mid-morning or afternoon snack to keep the tummy happy between meals.
  • Theyโ€™re sweet and addictiveโ€”just what you want from an after-dinner dessert. 
  • Or pack them in a pretty glass jar, tie a ribbon, and gift them for Diwali or any other festival!
