These bliss balls, or energy balls, taste exactly like pecan pie but are guilt free. What's more, they're quick & fun to make. They keep in an airtight container in the fridge for approx 1 week so I like to make them on a Sunday & reach for them throughout the week whenever I have a sweet craving. They give a slow release of energy and whilst the dates are admittedly high in natural sugars, it's important to remember that not all sugars are created equal. Unlike processed sugary snacks, the inclusion of dates means that these also have the benefit of being a good source of iron and fibre.
Three great health benefits: rich source of iron, high in fibre, anti-inflammatory
