Bliss Balls to the Rescue

Written by Belinda

September 8, 2023

Every batch of these life savers is different depending on my mood. At the moment I am using beetroot powder to make them glow pink. They pair perfectly with Lunar Latte or Beetroot Latte; we all need a little more of the feminine right now.

If you are sensitive to sugar and dried fruit, use a pinch of Monkfruit powder (Morelife organic available from health food shops) and Loving Earth mesquite.  I also throw in 4 squares of Loving Earth Salted Caramel Choc to each batch for the smoothness, available in bulk section of health food shop. See, anything goes – a couple of drops of Lemon Young Living essential oil, or 1 tps of rose water and some cardamon. Play 🙂

Ingredients

2 cups of organic cashews
2 Tbs of organic beetroot powder, add more if you want more pink
2 Tbs of organic cacao butter
2 Tbs of organic cacao nibs
2 Tbs of pumpkin seeds, Styrian variety are dark green and highly nutritious
1 Tbs of tahini or nut butter of your choice
1/8 tsp of coarse Himalayan/Macrobiotic salt
1/8 tsp of Monkfruit (Lo Han Guo) sweetener
1 Tbs of Mesquite powder

Blend the cashews and salt to a fine powder. Add remaining ingredients and
process until the mixture resembles fudgy truffles. Blend more if you want a smoother texture.

Enjoy the meditation of slowly rolling about 20 small balls and sharing with a friend. (across Skype!)

Rooted and Rising

Rooted and Rising I am kneeling on a sunlit wooden floor in the middle of the circle. My eyes scan the five natural objects in front of me: a pile of dry leaves, a stick, a rock, a palm frond and a wooden bowl. Where to begin? It’s the first day of a workshop called...
