Peanut free bliss balls are healthy and super easy to whip up as a mid morning snack or for lunch boxes. Bliss balls are such a great energy food for school lunch boxes, but so many recipes contain peanut butter which is a no go in most schools these days! So we created a nut free version, which are also super tasty so its a win- win!

Are bliss balls healthy?

Bliss balls are a great on the go snack for adults and kids. They are ideal as they are quick to make and our recipe can be made using pantry staples, so you can whip them up any time!

But even better they are made using healthy whole food ingredients providing a range of important nutrients. Seeds and coconut will give you a good dose of healthy fats, which will help keep you feeling full for longer. The seeds and dried fruits are also high in fibre. This will not only keep you fuller for longer but fibre is essential for good gut health.

Sunflower seeds maybe be tiny, but nutritionally they pack a good punch! They are not only high in good fats, fibre and protein. They also contain good amounts of vitamin E, selenium (important for DNA reproduction and synthesis), B-6, B-3, folate, pantothenic and iron. That's a pretty awesome list and good reason to get more of those little seeds in your families diet!
