Bliss balls are truly an incredible snack. Have you ever found yourself in a situation when you were very hungry in the late hour and wandered around the kitchen? What you usually find in a kitchen in a late hour is not healthy, right? Then the bliss balls are a great solution for that! Try these easy blackberry bliss balls.
Bliss balls are easy to make and they can be done in just a matter of seconds. You only need a powerful food processor or a blender to mix all the ingredients together.
Most of the bliss balls don’t require many ingredients either. These 3-Ingredient Fig And Walnut Bliss Balls are a good example. Have you tried them yet??
These Classic No-Bake Coconut Snowballs are basically just coconut balls they are a really good solution when you crave some high-carb food late at night. Coconut is often included in making bliss balls and protein balls. Especially desiccated or shredded coconut.
How to build perfect bliss balls? Usually, you need some kind of nuts, nut butter, and fresh or dried (Medjool) dates. The nuts can be almonds, cashews, peanuts, macadamia, pecans, pinenuts, hazelnuts, etc. Most of the time, I just use mix nut butter or classic smooth peanut butter as they are cheaper options.
Feel free to make your own nut butter at home. If you like the idea of making your own nut butter, make sure you check out this article from Minimalist Baker!
Sometimes it is really good to go for a little change in making the bliss balls. How? For example, you can use cocoa butter, cocoa powder, seeds, and berries. Like I did for these blackberry bliss balls.
Like any other berries, blackberries are packed with many valuable nutrients. They contain antioxidants (such as anthocyanins) that fights against free radicals and their negative impact on human body cells.
Eat more blackberries!
Blackberries are an amazing source of fibre and vitamins A, K, and C. Some researchers have also found out that blackberries have a positive impact on brain functioning. They most likely improve cognitive and motor skills and improve brain memory.
So what is the takeaway message here? Eat more blackberries. It’s very easy to incorporate them in easy snacks such as these blackberry bliss balls or raw desserts, such as these Raw blueberry And Blackberry Tarts!

Can you substitute anything else for the coconut in the BlackBerry balls
Hello Pam,
You can use almond meal or psyllium husk. I’m not sure about the taste though as it will taste very differently.
