Are date balls healthy?

The short answer is yes; date balls are healthy! Dates are a deliciously sweet whole food. Full of complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Date balls made with healthy plant-based fats like nuts, seeds, or nut butter, have increased satiation.

What are bliss balls made of?

Bliss balls are usually date-based. Additional ingredients can include nuts, seeds, spices, superfood powders like matcha or cacao, etc.

Why are my date balls dry?

Your bliss balls could be dry because the dates are older and therefore dried out a bit. There's a simple fix to this, though. If you notice your dates are dry ahead of time, place them in a large bowl. Boil some water, pour the hot water over the top of the dates, and let them soak for about five minutes. Then strain all the water out and make your date balls like usual. However, if you realize your mixture is too dry halfway through the recipe, you have a few different options. You could add hot water one tablespoon at a time, slowly combining it into the bliss ball mixture. Alternatively, adding in a nut or seed butter can help increase the moisture contents significantly.
