I think these are normally called 'bliss balls', however as I'm not keen on the word bliss (just too Mills and Boon) and I suspect some uber health-nut wanker has 'tm'd' them I'm sticking with longer self-descriptive version.
These balls are easy to make and a good little protein snack before yoga or the gym. I don't actually have a recipe, it's kind of a 'what's in the cupboard' mix. For this post I'll just go with the last batch I made.
You'll need; rolled oats, a selection of nuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, nutmeg and or cinnamon, vanilla essence or paste, honey, sun-dried figs, glacé ginger, dutch cocoa, unsalted butter and some olive oil.
- Chop up three types of nuts, about a half cup of each and add to a big bowl
- Chop up the sunflower seeds and add to the mix
- Chop up a half cup of rolled oats and add to the mix
- Add a quarter cup of chia
- Add a heaped tablespoon of soft butter and rub though with your fingers
- Add spice and vanilla at will!
- Add a good dollop of honey
- Chop up about four figs and five pieces of ginger and add to the mix
- Stir in two heaped tablespoons of dutch cocoa and stir
- The consistency should be a bit sticky - see if you can roll a ball that will stay together - if no - add some olive oil until you get the right consistency
- Roll in to balls and refrigerate!

Sunflower seeds, you know you love them. |
 |
Nutmeg and cinnamon ... heaps of it. |
 |
Use the nice sun-dried figs and they don't have any preservatives. |
 |
Use the good shit. |
 |
Not yet sticky enough ... calls for more olive oil |
 |
Mmmm, the balls, they are finished! |
