Bliss Ball Recipe,

There are many bliss ball recipes online but this one is super simple and easy peasy and makes enough for snacks for a week in my house.

100g ground almonds

100g mushroom Brew. You can adjust  this depending on your taste. If i'm making it for kids i'll do 70g Mushroom Brew and 30g cacao.

300g chopped dates

200g coconut oil.

First of all soak the dates in boiled water for 5 mins. Then measure out the oil into a container and put in the hot water with the dates. This makes both ingredients nice and soft and easy to mix.

Strain dates and mix all ingredients together.

At this point you can add any flavour that you fancy. ground ginger is one of my faves and orange, peppermint or lemon essence go really well too.

 

My final top tip if to make them into little bars because rolling them into little balls takes ages! just flatten them into long thin rectangles on a chopping board then pop in the fridge for about an hour. you can sprinkle with desiccated or cacao if you fancy.

When they're nice and firm you can cut them into kitkat finger size bars and store them in tupperware in the fridge.

I decided just to use one source for sharing the benefits of the ingredients I use in the Mushroom Brews to make it easier for you to find the relevant research.

Info on foods can often be unregulated and many claims can be made so I wanted to avoid any doubt about the amazing properties you’ll be having in your Brew.

www.medicalnewstoday.com will show all the research that backs up the benefits that I’ve written here.

All the ingredients have been used in traditional cultures for 100’s of years because of their health benefits and its important we value their knowledge too. Often times the Western approach or ’scientific research can be very reductionist and misleading.

Whenever possible I always buy organic ingredients which is at least 90% from a company that support and develop ethical trade and community based projects  with the benefits of harvesting non-timber forest products going to the local producer.

 

Cacao

Used and cherished for up to 5,000 years the Cacao bean is seen as sacred in many South American cultures.

It’s high in anti oxidants and minerals such as magnesium.
