Lemon Maca Bliss Balls

Looking for a healthy snack or treat to share with visitors or enjoy with a cup of tea. This is my daughter’s favourite and always makes her happy when I have ready for school pick up.  Packed with health fats these will keep everyone satisfied and happy!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • ½ cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup of coconut (desiccated) + extra for rolling
  • zest of one large lemon
  • juice of a lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon of rice malt syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of maca powder

 
Method

  1. Place all ingredients in food processor until it becomes a sticky crumble or dough, check regularly as may overdo it and it turns to butter.
  2. Roll balls to desired size (I like to make smaller ones for the kids and larger ones for me)
  3. Roll the balls in extra coconut and place in the fried or freezer to set.

 

Fun food fact

Maca is a root that is native to Peru. Its benefits include a positive effect on hormone balance. It has been used to help boost energy, improve menstrual issues, mood and libido. Mixed with the good fats from coconut and nuts these little gals are perfect for helping regulate hormones.
