Bliss Balls Under 50 Calories

Bliss Balls Under 50 Calories

If there is anything I love – it’s a good bliss ball. Great for on the go snacking, and also a great snack to take to work to have for when that sweet tooth kicks in. Unfortunately, many bliss ball recipes are often loaded with dates and copious forms of nuts, making them extremely caloric dense!

Here, I have formulated 6 delicious recipes all under 50 calories per serving. Each of these recipes makes roughly 20 bliss balls, unless otherwise specified!

  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Around 41 calories per serving

Almond Brownie Bites:

  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ½ cup almond flour roasted in the oven for roughly 5 mins at 180 degrees Celsius

  1. Combine ingredients above (for the bliss ball of choice) well in a bowl with hands until it forms a dough.
  2. Wet hands in water and roll mixture into balls.
  3. Dust balls in OPTIONAL raw cocoa, crushed nuts, desiccated coconut, goji berries etc. (my personal favourite is crushed roasted almonds)
