Need a DATE? I got you covered!
RAW VEGAN/DF/GF Bliss balls to give these the correct term, featured with fresh berries, dates, coco powder, and packed with a burst of nuts!
These are fun because you can customized these to your taste. The freeze dried raspberries help bring out the raspberry flavor. You can skip this step but you will miss out on all extra fun!
These make about 10-12 depending on how big roll. I like about a 1” if I share, but just for me I like a bit bigger. Remember these are mostly all natural ingredients, so treat yourself to two!

*Use an nuts you like. For me I like to chill the mixture for about 10 minutes and then roll. Works both ways!
**Coconut flour can be in place of almond flour!
