Cranberry Lemon Bliss Balls

Cranberry Lemon Bliss Balls

Cranberry Lemon Bliss Balls has a nice ring to it, right? I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again I love making “balls.” You can pack so many awesome nutrients into one little dessert or snack. These specific ones aren’t really protein based, but they easily could be.

I love the combination of flavors between lemon and cranberry, so much zest! If I could have a cranberry lemon muffin right now I totally would. But these ball bites, were so good I can’t even complain.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups of almond flour
  • 1/3 cup of coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup of agave or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil, soft
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons of lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup of dried cranberries (roughly chopped)

Instructions:

  1. Mix together all of the wet ingredients (agave/maple syrup, lemon juice, coconut oil, and vanilla extract). Make sure it’s smooth.
  2. Add in your remaining ingredients, mix until a dough forms. Put the dough into the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm.
  3. Roll dough into 12 ball bites! Store in the fridge. Enjoy!

**I completely forgot to chop up my cranberries and they turned out just fine. But I’m sure they would be better if it was chopped.

***Also, I recommend adding in a scoop of protein to make them energy balls. I’m going to give it a try next time and I’ll let you know how they turn out.

My future mother-in-law is an absolute gem. She’s the reason these peanut butter oat balls were possible. I mean I’m sure I could’ve made them without the food processor that she bought me, but it made all the difference. I’ve been wanting a food processor […]
