These Thermomix Chocolate Chia Bliss Balls are rich and chewy and filled with so much goodness. They’re perfect for keeping in the fridge for a mid afternoon snack or post workout when energy levels are low.
There are hundreds of recipes out there in the blogosphere for bliss balls, energy balls or protein balls. The trouble I have with most of them is that they contain nuts of some description. Unfortunately we have an anaphylactic in our household so we need to steer clear of certain nuts, which means I can’t use them in the Thermomix for fear of cross contamination. Even if the bowl has been washed, there is always a risk and it’s just not worth it. It’s a real bummer as I would love to make peanut butter and cashew butter but thankfully she is ok with almonds so I still make almond butter.
This recipe is great as I’ve used sunflower seeds instead. All the ingredients are good for you as long as you don’t eat too many at once as dates are extremely high in fructose.
