    What ingredients are in coconut almond bliss balls?

    These no-bake balls contain wholesome ingredients! Each ball is filled with healthy fats due to the almonds and coconut. Despite the sweet flavor, this recipe contains no refined sugar. Instead, we’ll naturally sweeten the energy balls with medjool dates. Check out the quick ingredients list below:

    • Almonds
    • Shredded coconut
    • Medjool dates
    • Vanilla
    • Salt

    How to Make Coconut Almond Bliss Balls

    For the full recipe, scroll down to view the recipe card below.

    First, be sure to remove the pits from your medjool dates.

    Then, add raw almonds, shredded coconut, medjool dates, vanilla, and salt to a food processor. Process the ingredients until a sticky, nearly-smooth dough is formed.

    Next, scoop the dough into 1-inch rounds. Use clean hands to roll the dough into balls.

    After, roll some (or all) bliss balls in shredded coconut. See additional decorative options in the “Kaylie’s Tips” section below.

    Kaylie’s Tips:

    • Remove pits from the medjool dates. Be sure your dates are pit-free before adding to the food processor.
    • Use fresh medjool dates. If possible, soft/fresh medjool dates are ideal for this recipe. However, if you only have access to dry/hard dates, no worries. Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain the water completely. Pat the dates dry with a paper towel and proceed with the recipe.
    • Use shredded coconut. Make sure you are using shredded coconut, otherwise known as desiccated coconut, instead of coconut flakes.
    • Decorate the bliss balls! These coconut almond bliss balls are perfectly tasty all on their own. However, you can roll them in shredded coconut, hemp seeds, chia seeds, cocoa powder, or even drizzle melted chocolate on top.
    • Store bliss balls in an airtight container. Keep in the pantry or refrigerator.

      Love your recipes Kaylie-they are awesome! I hope you don’t mind I use some as a guide for varying some of the ingredients to create some personal favorites, too. I do wonder if your sugar grams count is to calculate for the natural occurring sweetness of the dates. Using unsweetened coconut is another way to insure no added sugar, right?

        Hey, Mickey! Thank you so much 🙂 Yes, you are correct. Medjool dates have more natural sugar than most other fruits. It is 100% naturally occurring though. I use (and recommend) unsweetened shredded coconut myself! That is a great way to make sure this recipe contains no added sugar.

      I love these! I have made them twice this past week as an alternative to chocolate. This really satisfies my sweet tooth and tides me over til my next meal. I add a little maple syrup to make then easier to shape if they are too crumbly. Definitely a keeper and easy to add in your own flavorings and spices

        Thanks so much, Joanna! I’m happy to hear you are loving these coconut almond bliss balls 🙂 Since you love chocolate, you can add in some cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor. Enjoy! xo

      I followed the recipe and had hard time making the balls so I added about 10 more dates, it came out delicious! Definitely will make it again!

        Hey, Sasha! Thank you for the feedback. If your dates are dry/hard rather than fresh/soft, you’ll need to add more moisture to the recipe. If you ever encounter this issue again, just add 1-2 tsp melted coconut oil. That will do the trick! Alternatively, you can soak your dates in hot water for 10 minutes, drain the water, and then pat the dates completely dry. That will also work well. Enjoy! xo
