Ingredients

Core Ingredients

1 teaspoon SuperFeast Tremella
1 teaspoon SuperFeast

Other Ingredients

1 cup cashews (I used raw, unsalted)
6 large medjool dates, pits removed
1/2 cup of freeze dried strawberries
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice (or 1 teaspoon of lemon extract or a few drops of lemon oil)
1 teaspoon of freshly grated 1 lemon zest
a generous pinch of salt flakes
1-2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides – optional for an extra dose of protein and gut healing goodness
1/4 cup of finely shredded coconut for coating. (optional)
1/4 cup of freeze dried strawberries crumbled into a fine powder (optional)

Method

Step 1

Before you get started – If your dates are a little dry, I suggest you pop them into a small bowl or jug and pour over enough boiling water so they are completely submerged. Set aside for 5 minutes while you get your food processor out and gather up the rest of your ingredients and then when your ready simply pour out the water and proceed with the recipe as normal.

Step 2

Place cashews in your food processor/blender and pulse until it resembles a fine crumb, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.

Step 3

Add dates, vanilla, Tremella, beauty blend, lemon juice, zest and salt then process until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky “dough”.

Step 4

Add your freeze dried strawberries and process until combined.

Step 5

Using your hands, roll approx 1 Tablespoon of dough into little bite size balls then set aside.

Step 6

I feel like I should mention that when I make my bliss bites I tend to make them way smaller than the ones you see in stores or cafes. I prefer to make them on the smaller side because that's just how I like them, I would say you would probably need 3 of my bliss bites to make up the size of one of those store bought/cafe/golf ball size bites. Feel free make them whatever size you like.

Step 7

Place your coconut and strawberry powder each into a separate plate or bowl (or even just a zip lock bag) then roll/toss your bliss bites through the either the coconut or strawberry powder until they have a nice light, even coating and set aside. Repeat until all bites are coated.

Step 8

Once your bites have their delicious little coconut or pretty pink strawberry powder coats on, transfer to an airtight container (or even just a ziplock bag) and store in the fridge
