Golden Turmeric Bliss Balls
Naturally sweetened and delectable bliss balls, full of nourishing ingredients and vibrant colour to brighten your day and get you through any afternoon slump.
You all know my obsession with turmeric – I love adding it to recipes any time of day, whether that be breakfast bowls, lunch soups, and dinner curries. But now I have found a way to get it into my afternoon treat as well, with these turmeric bliss balls!
Ingredients
Biting into one (or two!) of these is all I need to get through the afternoon. They are full of nourishing plant-based ingredients that are healthy but feel quite indulgent too! I was excited to collaborate with Buy Whole Foods Online for the staple ingredients of this recipe:
- Turmeric powder – A vibrant spice that adds not only colour to any dish, but is also associated with a number of health benefits. It is known to be anti-inflammatory due to its high levels of curcumin.
- Medjool dates – Medjool dates are my definition of nature’s candy. They’re succulently sweet, generously gooey, and delightfully delicious – making for a fantastic natural sweetener!
- Macadamia nuts – Macadamia nuts always feel like an indulgent treat. They’re high in protein and healthy fats, and add a delectable creaminess to this recipe.
- Cashew nuts – Cashews are another sweet and creamy nut, and are so versatile! They make for a great base in plant-based mylk, cheese, sauces, dips, and much more.
- Desiccated coconut – Coconut is a great addition to many desserts, and I particularly love sprinkling it on my breakfast bowls. It brings a tropical spin to this recipe, adding extra flavour and texture to these bliss balls.
