Expert Tips
- We recommend using medjool dates rather than dried pitted dates as they are softer and have more moisture, helping to stick the bliss balls together. If you do use dried pitted dates, you may need to soak them in hot water to soften before using.
- You can use any combination of nuts you like. We like almonds, cashews, walnuts and pecans.
- The maca powder is optional and can be omitted without any substitutions.
- Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze bliss balls for up to 3 months (they'll only take a few minutes to defrost).
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled.

Ethel Shaw says
What is LSA mix?...needed for the Bliss balls.
Lucy says
Hi Ethel, LSA is a blend of ground linseeds (flax seeds), sunflower seeds, and almonds that you can buy in a packet (either in the health food or the nuts aisle in your supermarket).
Jessica Tadman says
It’s there a calorie count for these balls so I can put them in my fit bit etc?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Jessica, no there isn't I'm sorry x
Royce says
Tried recipe to the letter. Doesn't work. Too dry, can't roll into balls. All thermomix does is blitz, no liquid in mix to help "clumping".
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Royce, I'm sorry to hear the recipe wasn't as you expected. The size/moisture of the medjool dates can impact the consistency. If you find it a little dry, just add a tablespoon or two of water.
Elizabeth says
Also can just mix it longer on speed 7 which will bring out the oil in the nuts. I used pitted soft and juicy dates and these were good.
