Ingredients
- 1 tsp of Tremella
- 1 tsp of Mason's Mushroom
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup raw cashews
- 3 tbs of hemp seeds
- 3/4 cup medjool dates*
- 1 tbs of cacao
- 1 tbs of coconut butter
- 1/2 tsp of instant espresso (optional – please note you can’t actually taste the espresso I find it just really helps to enhance and intensify the flavor of the chocolate/cacao)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla (or 4-6 drops of vanilla cream stevia – I like to use Sweet Leaf Stevia )
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of maca powder – optional
- 1 teaspoon of Tremella
- 1 teaspoon of Mason's Mushroom
- 2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides – or hemp protein - optional for an extra dose of protein and gut healing goodness
Optional for serving
- Cacao
- Finely shredded coconut flakes
- Hemp seeds
Method
- Optional but highly (HIGHLY) recommended – Place your nuts on to a lined baking tray and roast at 175’C/350’F for 5-10 mins until lightly toasted, gloriously golden and deliciously fragrant.
- Once toasted, place your nuts into your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.
- Add dates and process until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky, loose “dough”.
- Add vanilla, hemp seeds, salt, cacao, espresso, maca and collagen/hemp protein (if using) then process again until combined.
- Using your hands, roll approx 1 small Tablespoons worth of dough into bite size balls then set aside – FYI – I like to make my bites on the smaller side. You would probably need 3 of mine to make up one of those golf ball size bites you buy at cafe’s or in stores.
- If you are going to coat your bliss bites in cacao, coconut or extra hemp seeds simply place your cacao, coconut and/or hemp seeds into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gentle press/shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Enjoy xoxo
If you find your dates are a little dry you could try soaking them in some warm water for 10 mins before you begin, then drain and rinse and make as normal.
