CANT BEET-CASHEW CRANBERRY BLISS BALLS (DATE FREE)
Almost all bliss ball recipes have at least a cup of dates to help stick them together... so I thought, why not challenge myself just a little and create a recipe lower in total sugar content, as well as creating a flavour that is 'not your norm' in terms of bliss balls.
For all the ladies out there, I think these should also be known as the 'womens energy bites' - Pink, Rosey and containing the only fruit being cranberry ( I think we can all relate to a time we have drank cranberry juice til the cows came home, and prayed it could help UTI's and all that jazz)
These balls of deep pink hues are slightly tangy, with a nuttiness to counter-balance the fruity-floral flavour.
WHATS THE FUSS ABOUT BEETROOT?
OF COURSE I wanted these look and taste deeeeelish, although they have a few specific nutritional boosting benefits. As always, I like to add unique ingredients to add some extra flavour, nutrients and minerals to your daily intake of plants rainbows!
BEETROOT is the very underrated superfood in this recipe. It's got a few stand out benefits being
1. Of course its Anti-cancer fighting, specifically for pancreatic, Breast and prostate cancers
2. Boosts your Stamina by increasing plasma nitrate levels and boosts physical performance
3. Supports your liver! this works by 'washing your blood' Adding beetroot powder or juice into your diet helps in the detoxification process because it contains betaine, a substance that helps prevent or reduce fatty deposits in the liver.
Enough of the boring stuff.. heres the recipe and the direct links for my favourite supplier of ingredients...
