    Healthy bliss balls and energy bites or protein bars are quite a trend these days. They are great for snacking in between meetings too. This easy recipe reminds me of a small laddoo. Major difference being it is raw, while laddus are cooked. While we make nut based laddu which are generally dairy and sugar based, these energy bites are naturally sugar free. These vegan protein balls recipe is ready within minutes. Total time to make one variation is hardly 10 minutes. Each variation yields 10 medium sized balls. Total weight is 190 gms. 

    No added sugar, means no extra calories. I love things made with no sugar or natural sugar. Bonus, they are vegan and gluten free. These protein balls made with dates are rich in iron too. Most people think vegan and vegetarian people have low iron. It is not so. You can get iron from many sources. Just eat mindfully and you will never need a supplement.

    If it is too hot and you cannot have dates, have a peanut butter ice cream instead.Totally summer ready!

    My heart says yes for anything chocolatey! Adding some cocoa powder, gives you that chocolate fix you need. Perfect to avoid your mid week blues. Enjoy your bliss with cacao bliss recipes 🙂 Toddlers can also eat this and you do not feel the guilt of giving them preservative loaded commercial chocolates.

    Both parents and kids are happy with such smart recipes. They get to see a bit of chocolate and we get to see bit of healthy food. Sugar free bliss ball recipes are perfect for that small dose of energy bursts we need while handling work life stress battles.
