No Food Processor Required Bliss Balls
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp 100% peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (personally I regretted this choice, should’ve left it out)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Uplift Food (Strengthening Vanilla Flavour) or use another vanilla flavoured protein powder you like!
- ¼ – ½ cup almond meal (depends if you use the above or not)
- 2 tbsp cacao chips
- Water, as needed to bind
Method
- Pop wet ingredients in the bowl first, then dry ingredients and combine
- Add water if required to get to a moist roll-able texture
- Roll into bite-sized balls
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or leave overnight, if you can wait!)
