Peanut Butter Bliss Balls Are Easy to Make and a Yummy Healthy Treat

These peanut butter bliss balls are so tasty that everyone likes them and doesn’t have a peanut allergy. Peanut butter is high in protein and can help with diabetes, weight loss, and Alzheimer’s disease.

They are one of those recipes that originated in my hippy days in the Kootenays of British Columbia, Canada. We had a variety of flavours of ‘Bliss Balls’; this was a favourite.  It did have lots of honey in it though so I reduced the quantity.  You can replace it with rice syrup especially if you want it to be totally vegan. Also, it had wheat germ in it which I replaced to make it gluten-free.

They are so tasty that everyone likes them and they are full of healthy ingredients as long as you are not one of the 1% that is allergic to them.

Try to use organic peanut butter without all the additives to keep these peanut butter bliss balls healthy. This is good peanut butter with no unhealthy additives and is organic too. Smucker’s Organic Creamy Peanut Butter.

I am a big fan of chunky peanut butter cause I like the crunch and this is what I use in the recipe: Smucker’s Organic Natural Peanut Butter-chunky.

No food is perfect, though; there are some cautions with peanuts. Hopefully, you are not one of the 1% that is highly allergic to peanuts.

Honey – Discover the health benefits of honey, one of the oldest sweeteners on earth.  It is a delicious part of any dessert made with it; see some of my favourite recipes here too. Honey is so good for you that we have included it in our list of superfoods that should be in your kitchen right now.  Raw honey contains vitamins, minerals, and enzymes not present in refined honey. Peanut butter bliss balls are extra tasty with honey.

Sunflower seeds – Delicious nutty sunflower seeds are a popular snack that is undervalued.  They may be small but sunflower seeds are a dense source of nutrients and full of extraordinary health benefits.  They are an excellent source of vitamin E, vitamin B1, Manganese, copper, magnesium, folate while being a good source of protein. Also, they are filled with fiber, manganese, selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, niacin, phosphorus, and iron.

Sesame seeds – These tiny sesame seeds may be tiny, but they have huge health benefits. During the Middle Ages,  they were worth their weight in gold for many good reasons. The more I learn about this precious seed, the more I want to share it with other people. I’m an enthusiastic eater of all sorts of seeds, but sesame seeds in the form of tahini and oil are favourites of mine.

Now time to make some Peanut Butter Bliss Balls.
