Hey friend, how’s your week going?

Me?

Well, it looks like I may have figured out why my laptop keeps freezing and crashing and freezing and crashing and freezing and crashing. . . turns out my storage disk is full so . . .  guess Ima have to go try figure that out . . .

Looks like I’ll be needing lots of snacks  . . .

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

And coffee . . .

And chocolate . . .

HELP MEEEEEE!

Luck I have just the thing!

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

Question for you . . .

Are bliss bites still a thing?!

Please tell me they’re still a thing?

Or, did I miss the memo and they’re totally not cool anymore?

For me, cool or not, they will always be a thing!

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

You and I both know your girl here loves a snack.

And bliss bites are just so easy to make.

Not to mention they’re oh so delicious!

And versatile!

The ways you can change the flavors by adding chocolate (always a good idea)  or spices, or using different nuts and seeds, so many options  . . .

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

Safe to say for me they will always be a thing, and if I missed the memo and they are no longer a thing I think they are about to make a very real and very big come back in the form of these date free, black forest bliss bites!

Aka my current obsession!

Decadent and rich (but not too rich), subtly sweet, soft and chewy, seriously chocolatey, coconut infused bliss bites spiked with a gentle hum (or loud rev if you prefer) of espresso.

It’s everything I love in life all served up in one delicious little mouthful!

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

Coffee – Only as I live and breathe!

Chocolate – Do you even have to ask?!

Coconut – Fixes everything!

Cherries – Soooooo good!

Using dried cherries in place of the more traditional dates to make these bliss bites = best idea, ever!

They still have that soft and chewy texture we all know and love but those slightly tart chewy cherries balances out the richness of cacao and sweetness of coconut just perfectly. It totally takes the flavor profile to a whole new level!

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

Plus, those cheeky cherries add an extra nutritional boost!

Did you know that cherries are rich in antioxidants, can help to regulate blood sugar, are a natural anti-inflammatory, can increase brain function, boost memory and reduce your risk of diabetes and cancer?!

They also help reduce muscles soreness, and improve sleep quality?!

Plus they taste all kinds of incredible!

Chocolate + coffee + cherries + coconut = blissful deliciousness!

If you’re looking for an excuse to eat more snacks then look no further friend, I gotchu!

Made with just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and can be ready to devour in around 15 minutes!

Toast – Blend – Roll – Devour!

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

Gluten Free – Dairy free – Grain free – Refined sugar free – Paleo – Keto &  Vegan friendly !

7 ingredients – 15 minutes in the making

The only thing that’s left to decide is which will you devour first?!

Original, cacao or coconut?!

Cacao (and a double espresso) for me please!

Make them. Eat them. Love, love, love them.

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, Paleo} - www.betterwithcake.com

Date Free Black Forest Bliss Bites

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Persons: 16+
  • Difficulty: Easy

  • Ingredients
  • For the (not so) basic bliss ball base –
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup dried cherries  – I used these organic, naturally sweetened tart dried cherries from Ceres Organics
  • 1 Tablespoon of cacao
  • 1 Tablespoon of shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon of instant espresso
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • A good pinch of sea salt
  • Optional add ins;
  • Dark chocolate, roughly chopped – extra antioxidants?!
  • 1 teaspoon of maca powder – hormone balance
  • 2 scoops of collagen – adds an extra hit of protein & is great for hair, skin, nails & gut health***
  • 1-2 Tbsp of protein powder ****
  • Optional for serving –
  • Cacao
  • Finely shredded coconut flakes
  1. Instructions
  2. Optional but highly (HIGHLY) recommended – Place your almonds and cashews on to a lined baking tray and roast at 175’C/350’F for 5-10 mins until lightly toasted, gloriously golden and deliciously fragrant.
  3. Once toasted, place your nuts into your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.
  4. Add dried cherries and process until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky “dough”.
    If your mixture seems a little dry, simply add some filtered water, 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together.
  5. Add vanilla, coconut , espresso, chocolate,  maca and collagen (if using) then process again until combined.
  6. Using your hands, roll approx 1 small Tablespoons worth of dough into bite size balls then set aside
 – FYI – I like to make my bites on the smaller side. You would probably need 3 of mine to make up one of those golf ball size bites you buy at cafe’s or in stores.
  7. If you are going to coat your bliss bites simply place your cacao & coconut into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gentle press/shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
  8. Enjoy xo

Notes –

*  Keto/ low carb lovin’ friends & those of you who have trouble digestive dates –  soak/ferment your dates in coconut water keifr or kombucha overnight and you should be ready to roll. How you ask?! Well, apparenely adding beneficial bacteria to them in the way of coconut yoghurt or coconut kefir or kombucha removes all the sugar in the fruit! You cab read more about how/why it works here

** if your dates are a little dry/ you’re not using fresh juicy dates (or fermenting them first), soak in boiling water for 10 mins to help re hydrate them & bring them back to life. Then just drain & proceed with the recipe as written.

*** I ♥ before you speak coffees chocolate collagen complex – EMS10 = 10% off if you want to give it a try. I guarantee it will change your life!

**** I use Macro Mike’s clean treats vanilla almond protein  but, the white chocolate would work great here too you could also just leave it out but, the extra flavour, hit of protein + pre & pro biotics really do take these bites (& your life by extension) to a whole new level!

All of Macro Mike’s products are plant based, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, boosted with pre & probiotics & truly tastes all kinds of incredible. Its hands down without question the smoothest, most delicious, elite tasting protein power (plant based/dairy free or otherwise!!) I have ever tried. And I have tried A LOT!  Use AMB-EM to get an extra cheeky discount of you want to try it & believe me, you do!

You guys have been demanding politely requesting more and more date free, raw treat recipes lately and what can I say, you ask, I deliver.

I aim to please, friends 🙂

Honestly though, why have I never thought to do this before?!

Date Free Golden Spiced Mango & Coconut Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Subbing dried mango in place of the usual medjool dates to make our beloved bliss bites = best idea ever!

Talk about a game changer!

Look out world!!!!

You guys know how much I adore my beloved bliss bites (and I know you love them as much as I do – great minds baby) but, this has opened up a whole new world on the snack/bliss bite front!

Date Free Golden Spiced Mango & Coconut Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

I mean, Ive added other dried fruits to change up the flavors before but never completely swapped out the dates entirely . . . I wasn’t really sure how they were going to turn out but one bite and I was hooked!

Buttery cashews and almonds combined with a splash of vanilla, the subtly sweet, mellowed out, moorish mango and that glorious, golden spice mix (think turmeric, cinnamon and ginger) + a cheeky pinch of salt – a little bite of heaven!

Date Free Golden Spiced Mango & Coconut Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Soft, chewy, subtly sweet, deliciously nutty, perfectly spiced, simply divine!

Nowhere near as sweet as their traditional cousins but boy are they tasty!

I’m talking seriously addicting , or is it addictive?!

Either way, yummmmmmmmmm

And would you just look at that colour?!

Date Free Golden Spiced Mango & Coconut Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

How pretty are they?!

Insert all they heart eyed emoji’s here!

Honestly though, I’m really trying hard to find words that do justice in describing just how amazing these mango and coconut bliss bites are but I’m struggling . . .

In the last 3 days I’ve started to write this post more times than I can count and each time I find myself staring at my computer screen, drooling over these incredible moorish mango coconut bliss bites  but my mind draws a blank . . .

I got nothin’ . . .

But, to be honest, that’s kind of what happens when you bite into these beauties . . .

Date Free Golden Spiced Mango & Coconut Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

The noise of the world disappears as you lose yourself in the edible, awesomeness you just created.

It’s like your own, personal, bite size, time machine that can whisk you away, at a moments notice, to your own private, tropical oasis to just, sit, savor and bask in the glory.

Yes, they really are THAT good!

Date Free Golden Spiced Mango & Coconut Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

And not only do they taste like an absolute dream but they also happen to pack a serious nutritional punch!

They are rich in antioxidants, a natural anti-inflammatory, great for digestion, great for heart health, will help stabilize blood sugar, lower your risk of diabetes, improve brain function and boost your immunity!  💛💛💛

Just in case you needed an excuse to eat more snacks, I got you covered friend.

Now, although they are all kinds of delicious enjoyed simply as they are in all their freshly rolled glory, if you have the time and  feel like getting a little fancy then you might want to go ahead and crumble up some freeze dried mango into a fine looking powder, and while you’re at it, pop some finely shredded coconut into a bowl then . . . roll some of those glorious, golden blissful bites of deliciousness, in a little of each.

It’s totally not necessary but the contrast in both flavor and texture kind of takes the experience to the next level.

Now, you and I both know that our love of bliss/energy bites runs deep! I’m talking so deep that we feel it way down deep in the depths of our soul, right?!

It does for me anyway . . . and I’m pretty sure you agree because year after year bliss/energy bite recipes rank as one of, if not THE, most popular recipes on this little blog of mine, which is no surprise really because, snacks = life!

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

And let me tell you, these dark chocolate hazelnut superfood fudge bites really are life and you need them in yours, asap!

Not even kidding! These dark chocolate hazelnut superfood fudge bites are out. of. this. world.

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

And I’m not just talking about how insanely delicious they are.

Although, I could go on about that for dayzzzzzz.

They literally taste like a cross between a big ol’ spoonful of nutella and those crisp and crunchy, dreamy, fudge filled, ferrero rochers!

Yes, really!

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

But, taste aside, there is so much to love about these superfood fudge bites  . . .

Not only do they taste all kinds of amazing but, they are packed with protein and heart healthy fats, they are rich in antioxidants, high in calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber.

They are a natural anti-inflammatory.

They are great for stabilizing blood sugar, balancing hormones, enhancing mood, aid concentration and restoring energy levels (both mental and physical).

They are great for post work out recovery, great for gut health as well as the health of your hair, skin and nails- this has been a huge one for me!

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Honestly, there is so much goodness packed in to one seriously chocolaty, deliciously fudgey, hazelnut infused bliss bite that I could go on and on (and on and on and on) but , the sooner I stop talking the sooner we can start eating, right?!

So, let’s get on with it shall we?!

As always our beloved bliss bites all natural made with no refined flours or sugars using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already.

Almonds 👉 hazelnuts 👉 dates 👉 vanilla and 👉 a pinch of salt.

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Then we add in our super hero superfoods 👉 matcha green tea powder 👉 maca and 👉collagen.

All of which are optional by the way. You could definitely make these fudge bites without the superfood ingredients and they would still be all kinds of delicious so, don’t feel like you need to go out and buy these things just to make these bad boys.

Although, speaking from personal experience, I can honestly say that I have felt and seen so many positive benefits by adding these things in to my daily routine. And those around me have seen it too. Just a little FYI.

Now, back to the fudge bites . . .

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Where was I . . .

All natural made with just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already, right.

They are naturally gluten free, dairy free, keto and paleo friendly (vegan friends just skip the collagen and feel free to sub in protein powder of choice).

They are super quick and easy to prepare coming together in a matter of minutes, simply  throw your ingredients into your food processor or blender and you’re ready to rock and roll baby!

And, although they are insanely delicious just as they are if you, like me, are wanting to add an extra crazy-cool, textural element to your new fave super-snack then I strongly suggest you roll them in some crisp, crunchy, deliciously nutty, finely shredded coconut flakes.

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

And you might want to give a couple an extra dusting of cacao because, extra antioxidant right?! 😘

Honestly, I am seriously obsessed with these chocolate hazelnut superfood fudge bites!

I love the way the earth tones of that magnificent matcha marries with the sweetness of those magical medjool dates, the richness of the cacao and the deliciously buttery, nuttiness of those glorious almonds and hazelnuts – they are soft, chewy, decadent, rich, sweet but not to sweet – edible perfection!

And would you just look at how fudgey they are?!

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites {Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo & Vegan Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

*swoon* 😍😍😍

Honestly, I don’t know what more I can say . . .

All natural, quick and easy, decadent, rich, seriously chocolaty, hazelnut infused blissfully delicious fudge bites that pack a serious nutritional punch!

Make them. Eat them. Love, love, love them!

Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Bites
{Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free & Paleo Friendly}
Makes approx 20 {bite size} all natural, quick and easy, decadent and rich, seriously chocolatey, superfood fudge bites!

Ingredients –

1/2 cup raw almonds

1/2 cup skinless hazelnuts*

3/4 cup medjool dates*

1 Tablespoon of cacao

1 teaspoon of maca powder

1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder

2 scoops of  Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides

1/2 teaspoon of instant espresso (optional – please not you can’t actually taste the espresso I find it just really helps to enhance and intensify the flavor of the chocolate/cacao)

1 teaspoon of vanilla (or 4-6 drops of vanilla cream stevia – I like to use Sweet Leaf Stevia )

A pinch of salt

Optional for serving –

Cacao

Finely shredded coconut flakes

Method –

1 – Optional but highly (HIGHLY) recommended – Place your almonds and hazelnuts on to a lined baking tray and roast at 175’C/350’F for 5-10 mins until lightly toasted, gloriously golden and deliciously fragrant.

2 – Once toasted, place almonds and hazelnuts into your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.

3 – Add dates and process until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky, loose “dough”.

4 – Add cacao, maca, matcha, collagen and espresso (if using) along with your vanilla and salt then process again until combined.

5 – Using your hands, roll approx 1 small Tablespoons worth of dough into bite size balls then set aside
 – FYI – I like to make my bites on the smaller side. You would probably need 3 of mine to make up one of those golf ball size bites you buy at cafe’s or in stores.

6 – If you are going to coat your bliss bites in cacao, or crushed hazelnuts simply place your cacao, and/or coconut flakes into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gentle press/shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Enjoy xo

  • If you find your dates are a little dry you could try soaking them in some warm water for 10 mins before you begin, then drain and rinse and make as normal.
  • If you are unable to get skinless hazelnuts simply roast them on a separate tray and once they are roasted, place on a clean dry hand towel and fold it in half. Rub it gently between your hands and the skins should come loose. Once the hazelnuts have shed their skins, discard the skins and proceed with the recipe as normal.

Pumpkin Spiced, Salted Caramel Bliss Bites!

I know, I know there are a million and one different recipes out there for our beloved bliss bites but, you guys did you hear me . . .

PUMPKIN SPICED, SALTED CARAMEL BLISS BITES!!!!!!

I don’t mean to yell but you guys . . . yes, these pumpkin spiced salted caramel bliss bites  really are THAT good!

Plump and juicy, deliciously chewy caramel infused medjool dates are combined with buttery cashews, crisp, crunchy almonds, a splash of vanilla and a cheeky pinch of salt to make our insanely delicious, salted caramel, bliss bite base.

Next, we infuse our blissfully delicious, sweet, chewy, lightly salted, caramel base with a gentle hum of our healthy, homemade, heart and belly warming pumpkin spice mix.

The combination of our pumpkin spice mix with that deliciously buttery soft, chewy, salted caramel base is truly incredible!

One bite and you will think Christmas has come early and if you ask me, it kind of has because that’s exactly what these bliss bites taste like to me.

Blissfully soft, deliciously chewy, perfectly spiced, lightly salted, caramel infused bites of happiness.

So much deliciousness I can hardly stand it but . . .

Because I can’t seem to leave well enough alone, I thought it might be a good idea if we gave our deliciously simple, secretly healthy,  pumpkin spiced, salted caramel bliss bites a subtly sweet, deliciously nutty, crisp and crunchy coconut coating . . .

Spoiler alert . . .

Best idea, EVER!

Well, that was until I decided to try tossing them in a touch of cacao . . .

Ummmmm yep, also a very wise move on my part.

I mean, I think we can all agree that the addition of chocolate, in any way shape of form, really does make just about anything better, am I right?!

Oh you know I am. You’re so smart!

Not only does it add an incredible contrast in texture, with the coconut flakes adding a nice little crunch to the outside of our soft and chewy bliss bites where the cacao adds a touch of deliciously indulgent, decadent richness that marries so perfectly with the sweetness of our salted spiced caramel when you bite on in – it really is mind-blowingly delicious!

Which would you try first?!

Ah I seriously can not wait for you to try these bliss bites, I know you are going to love them!

And FYI – they also happen to be 100% gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, vegan and paleo friendly.

5 ingredients, 10 minutes in the making

Stop what you’re doing, this needs to happen, NOW!

All natural, quick and easy, soft and chew, deliciously buttery, perfectly spiced, lightly salted caramel infused bliss bites;

Make them. Eat them. Love, love, love them.

Pumpkin Spiced Salted Caramel
Bliss Bites

{Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly}
Makes approx 20 – all natural, quick and easy, crisp, crunchy, deliciously nutty, subtly sweet, blissfully soft, deliciously chewy, perfectly spiced, salted caramel bliss bites.

Ingredients –

1/2 cup cashews (I used raw, unsalted)

1/2 cup almonds (I used raw, unsalted)

3/4 cup medjool dates, pits removed – approx 7 large

1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract (or 8-12 drops of vanilla cream stevia – I like to use Sweet Leaf Stevia )

1/2 of salt flakes

1 teaspoon of our healthy, homemade pumpkin spice mix

1 scoop of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides optional

Optional for serving –

2-4 Tablespoons  of finely shredded coconut for coating.

2-4 Tablespoons of cacao

Method –

1 – Place almonds and cashews in your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.

2 – Add dates and process until the mixture comes together to form a sticky “dough”.

3 – Add vanilla, salt flakes and spices and process again until combined.

4 – Using your hands, roll approx 1 Tablespoon of dough into little bite size balls then set aside.

I feel like I should mention that when I make my bliss bites I tend to make them way smaller than the ones you see in stores or cafes. I prefer to make them on the smaller side because I like being able to just pop one in my mouth on the down low so I don’t have to share I can go about my business. I would say you would probably need 3 of my bliss bites to make up the size of one of those store bought/cafe size bites. Feel free make them whatever size that tickles your fancy, just wanted to put that out there 🙂

5 – Place your coconut and cacao each into a small bowl (or even just a zip lock bag) then gently roll your bliss bites in the coconut or cacao for coating, gently but firmly pressing as you go.

6 – Once your bites have their delicious little coating, transfer directly to your mouth an airtight container (or even just a ziplock bag) and store in the fridge

Enjoy xo

  • If you find your dates are a little dry you could try soaking them in some warm water for 10 mins before you begin, then drain and rinse and make as normal.

Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite snack . . .

All natural, quick and easy, soft, chewy, crisp, crunchy, subtly sweet, seriously addicting lemon berry bliss bites 😍😍😍

Are bliss bites still a thing?

Please tell me they’re still a thing?

Or are they so not cool anymore and, once again, I missed the memo?!

I missed it didn’t I?!

I’m so not cool.

But, if that’s the case and my beloved bliss/energy bites are no longer considered “cool” I have a feeling they are about to make an epic come back because, you guys . . . these lemon berry bliss bites are insanely good.

Buttery cashews are combined with deliciously chewy, magical medjool dates then infused with sweet strawberries and a hint of light, fresh, zesty lemon.

The slight tartness of those freeze dried strawberries and the freshness of our lemon zest cuts through the natural sweetness of those magical medjool dates making these beautiful little bliss bites light, fresh, subtly sweet and simply divine!!

Seriously so good!

I don’t know what it is but, this time of year I always find myself craving citrus-y things.

Last year it was lemon and coconut bliss bites, the year before that it was lemon and chia muffins and this year it’s lemon berry bliss bites?!

Maybe it has something to do with the change of season or, maybe it’s my body craving some light, fresh, cleansing flavors after the deliciously indulgent, chocolate/treat filled festivities aka Easter?! #iregretnothing

Whatever the reason I’m just going to go with it because you guys, these lemon berry bliss bites are a light, fresh, edible bite of heaven and you need them in your life, asap!

As always our beloved bliss bites are all natural made with just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already.

They are naturally vegan, gluten free and paleo friendly and come together in a matter of minutes!

Simply throw your ingredients into your food processor or blender and you’re pretty much done!

Once your light, fresh, buttery, sweet, pretty pink, lemon infused bliss bite “dough” is ready, all that’s left to do is roll them into deliciously, pop-able bite size pieces and voila’, done!

Now, although they are all kinds of delicious enjoyed simply as they are in all their freshly rolled glory, if you have can spare a few extra minutes and you feel like getting a little fancy then you might want to go ahead and crumble up a handful of freeze dried strawberries into a fine looking powder, and while you’re at it, pop some finely shredded coconut into a bowl then . . .

roll some of those blissfully delicious, pretty hued, lemon scented beauties in a little of each.

It’s totally not necessary but I think it’s worth the extra time and effort because the contrast in both flavor and texture kind of takes these lemon berry bliss bites to the next level.

Crisp and crunchy, subtly sweet, freeze dried strawberries or coconut flakes on the outside, blissfully soft, deliciously chewy, light, fresh, zesty lemon scented deliciousness on the inside;

The perfect anytime treat!

All natural, quick and easy, soft, chewy, crisp, crunchy, subtly sweet, vibrant, delicious, seriously addicting lemon berry bliss bites

Make them. Eat them. Love, love, love them.

Lemon Berry Bliss Bites
{Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly}

Makes approx 24* all natural, quick and easy, subtly sweet, soft and chewy, zesty, lemony blissful bites of berry infused deliciousness.

Ingredients –

1 cup cashews (I used raw, unsalted)

6 large medjool dates, pits removed

1/2 cup of freeze dried strawberries

1 teaspoon of vanilla (or 4-6 drops of vanilla cream stevia – I like to use Sweet Leaf Stevia )

1 Tablespoon of lemon juice (or 1 teaspoon of lemon extract or a few drops of lemon oil)

1 teaspoon of freshly grated 1 lemon zest

a generous pinch of salt flakes

1-2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides – optional for an extra dose of protein and gut healing goodness

Optional for serving –

1/4 cup of finely shredded coconut for coating.

1/4 cup of freeze dried strawberries crumbled into a fine powder

Method –

Before you get started – If your dates are a little dry, I suggest you pop them into a small bowl or jug and pour over enough boiling water so they are completely submerged. Set aside for 5 minutes while you get your food processor out and gather up the rest of your ingredients and then when your ready simply pour out the water and proceed with the recipe as normal.

1 – Place cashews in your food processor/blender and pulse until it resembles a fine crumb, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.

2 – Add dates, vanilla, lemon juice, zest and salt then process until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky “dough”.

3 – Add your freeze dried strawberries and process until combined.

4 – Using your hands, roll approx 1 Tablespoon of dough into little bite size balls then set aside.

I feel like I should mention that when I make my bliss bites I tend to make them way smaller than the ones you see in stores or cafes. I prefer to make them on the smaller side because I like being able to just pop one in my mouth on the down low so I don’t have to share I can go about my business. I would say you would probably need 3 of my bliss bites to make up the size of one of those store bought/cafe/golf ball size bites. Feel free make them whatever size that tickles your fancy, just wanted to put that out there 🙂

For the optional coating;

5 – Place your coconut and strawberry powder each into a separate plate or bowl (or even just a zip lock bag) then roll/toss your bliss bites through the either the coconut or strawberry powder until they have a nice light, even coating and set aside. Repeat until all bites are coated.

5 – Once your bites have their delicious little coconut or pretty pink strawberry powder  coats on, transfer to your mouth an airtight container (or even just a ziplock bag) and store in the fridge

Enjoy xo

I don’t know about you but, keeping healthy snacks on hand is a non-negotiable around here, no one wants a hangry mama!

I love that I can just open the fridge and pop one (or two) of these babies in my mouth and carry on about my business without having to stop and think, hunt around or take time to prepare something.

Healthy, No-Bake Lamington Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Or, if I’m heading out I can just throw a couple of bliss bites into a cute little container or zip lock bag and take them with me. It’s so much cheaper than having to buy snacks while out and about, not to mention the fact that our homemade versions often end up being much better for you too.

Plus, they are so quick and easy to throw together and the ways you can change up the flavors are limitless!

You guys . . . these healthy no-bake lamington bliss bites are absolutely divine!

They are decadent, rich, soft, chewy, incredibly chocolaty and seriously fudgey with the perfect hint of crunchy coconut!

Healthy, No-Bake Lamington Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Seriously, so good!

I actually came up with the idea of making these little bites of heaven when I was thinking about what treats I could make in honor of Australia day next week. Of course, the good ol’ lamington was one of the the first things I thought of but, it’s been so hot here the last thing I wanted to do was bake!

Healthy, No-Bake Lamington Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Just quickly for my non-Australian friends who may not know what lamington’s are (the horror 😉 ) A lamington is basically a deliciously buttery, light and fluffy, vanilla sponge cake that is smothered in a decadent and rich, fudgey chocolate frosting then covered with finely shredded coconut.

It’s so yummy!!

Healthy, No-Bake Lamington Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

But yep, way to hot for baking!

I tried to shake it off my lamington craving, Tae-Tae style, but it just didn’t work!

I could not stop thinking about lamington’s!

So what’s a girl to do when she craving lamington’s like no tomorrow but it’s way to hot for baking?!

She creates a deliciously simple, healthy, homemade no-bake version all her very own, that’s what!

Healthy, No-Bake Lamington Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

Umm you guys . . .

Deliciously simple, healthy, homemade, no-bake lamington bliss bites = Best. Idea. Ever!

A combination of cashews and almonds re-create the flavors of that buttery sponge cake.

A splash of vanilla and a handful of magical medjool dates add a touch of sweetness.

Healthy, No-Bake Lamington Bliss Bites {Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

A spoonful of cacao and a pinch of espresso (which just helps to enhance and intensify that richness of the cacao) bring the deliciously indulgent, decadent and rich, seriously fudgey flavors of that chocolate frosting and a handful of coconut flakes along with a splash of coconut extract bring that all important crunch and the perfect hint of coconut.

Lamington craving satisfied!

The nuttiness of our almond meal and quinoa really helps to balance out the natural sweetness from our maple syrup, vanilla and cacao.

Although these bliss bites are super fudgey, they also happen to have a crazy cool, subtle crunch factor to them thanks to our chia-licious chia seeds.

Now, these chocolate tahini bliss bites are all kinds of incredible just as they are but, if you want to jazz them up a little and add another, crazy-cool, textural element to you superfood, super-snack then you can totally roll them in a little cacao,

or even some coconut.

Chocolate Tahini Bliss Bites {Date Free} - Vegan, Dairy Free & Gluten Free - www.betterwithcake.com

Or you could bust open a packet of your favourite sprinkles and really get the party started . . .

Chocolate Tahini Bliss Bites {Date Free} - Vegan, Dairy Free & Gluten Free - www.betterwithcake.com

I don’t know about you but in our house we bust out the sprinkles any and every chance we get!

I should mention that when I make my bliss bites I tend to make them way smaller than the ones you see in stores or cafes. I prefer to make them on the smaller side because I like being able to just pop one in my mouth on the down low so I don’t have to share I can go about my business. I would say you would probably need 3 of my bliss bites to make up the size of one of those store bought/cafe size bites. Feel free make them whatever size that tickles your fancy, just wanted to put that out there 🙂

Chocolate Tahini Bliss Bites {Date Free}
Makes approx 20 – All natural, seriously healthy, quick and easy, dark and delicious, decadent, rich, fudgey, chewy, crispy, crunchy, bet size – chocolate tahini bliss bites.

Ingredients –

1/4 cup of unhulled tahini – I used Mayver’s ♥
1/8 cup of maple syrup
1/4 cup of finely shredded  coconut
1/4 cup of almond meal
1/4 cup of quinoa flakes (could sub oats – use gluten free if sensitive – if you prefer)
1/8 cup cacao
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp instant espresso – to help enhance the richness of the chocolate

Optional add-ins ;

1 teaspoon of maca – for hormone balance

1-2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides – for an extra boost of protein and gut healing goodness

1 scp protein powder – for extra protein (chocolate, vanilla or unflavored would work best in this recipe) – I use Proganics Vanilla whey – you can use EMS10 to get 10% off

Finely shredded coconut
Sprinkles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Method –

1 – Place all ingredients into a medium size bowl and stir to combine.

3 – Scoop a small section of dough and shape roll in the palm of your hand to shape into bite size balls, repeat until all the mixture has been used. FYI – I use approx 1 heaping teaspoon per bite which makes them the perfect size for popping into your mouth on the down low so you don’t have to share 😉

4 – If you are going to coat your bliss bites in cacao, coconut or sprinkles simple place your cacao, coconut and/or sprinkles into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gentle press/shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

My V-day weekend was quiet but nice. Gift’s were given, chocolates were eaten and quiet moments were enjoyed.

Spunky husband was at work so the little lady and I spent the weekend just hang in’ out. It was kinda nice to have some quiet time just the 2 of us. Now that school is in our time is limited, although I do enjoy my moments of blissful silence I miss that one and one time. How is she growing up so quickly?! Just stop it already!

Blueberry Coconut Crunch Bliss Bites
{Vegan, Dairy Free & Paleo Friendly}
Makes approx 40 all natural, secretly healthy, creamy, dreamy, coconut crusted, blueberry-vanilla infused energy packed bites of deliciousness

Ingredients –

1 cup raw cashews

6 medjool dates*, pits removed

1/2 cup freeze dried blueberries – could sub regular dried blueberries however this will alter the texture somewhat.

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup finely shredded coconut flakes

Method –

1 – Place cashews in your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.

2 – Add dates and pules until the mixture starts to come together to form a sticky “dough”.

3 – Add vanilla extract and salt flakes and pulse again to combined.

4 – Lastly add your freeze dried blueberries and pulse until just combined.

5 – Using your hands, roll approx 1 heaping teaspoon of dough into little bite size balls and set aside. Repeat until all your “dough” has been rolled.

6 – Place your coconut into a small bowl and gently roll/press each bliss bite until it has a delicious coconut coating then set aside. Repeat with remaining blueberry bites (you could also just pour your coconut into a zip lock bag and add your bliss bites and give it a gentle little shake to coat instead.

7 – Once coated transfer your delicious little coconut crusted bliss bites directly to your pretty little mouth, I mean into an airtight container (or even just a ziplock bag) and store in the fridge until you are ready to devour indulge.

Enjoy xo

If you find your dates are a little dry, try soaking them in warm water for 10 mins prior to blending. Alternately you could add a little water, 1 teaspoon at a time if your “dough” doesn’t seem to be coming together after a minute or two as it should.
