  • 0.5 serves of fruit per 
  • bliss ball
Share recipe:

Ingredients

1 cup pitted dates, chopped
¼ cup finely grated beetroot
¼ cup finely chopped baby spinach
½ cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup shredded coconut
Extra coconut for rolling

Tips

  • These bliss balls are packed full of fibre from the dates, rolled oats and chia seeds. Fibre is good for your gut. 
  • This is a good recipe for sneaking some vegetables into diets. 

  • You don’t need to peel the beetroot before grating. 
  • Steam or roast the leftover beetroot to have on a burger, in a salad or make our baked vegie chips.
  • Use any left-over baby spinach in our Mediterranean vegie pita. 

  • You can save money by using home brand oats and coconut. 
  • Chia seeds last a long time in the pantry and they can be added to smoothies or to make our chewy fruit and seed bars. 

Method

Step 1
Place all ingredients, except extra coconut, in a food processor and process until smooth.

Step 2
Scoop out the mixture and with slightly wet hands roll into 12 balls.

Step 3
Put extra coconut in a shallow bowl and roll each ball in coconut.

Step 4
Place in the freeze for 1 hour to set.

TIP: Beetroot stains, so protect your benchtops and wear gloves when grating it.
