Ingredients Breakdown

Before we dive into the method, let’s take a closer look at the ingredients that make these bliss balls both nutritious and delicious:

Frozen Blueberries (90g or about 3/4 cup): Blueberries are a superfood rich in antioxidants and vitamins, adding natural sweetness and a lovely purple hue to these bliss balls.
Oats (100g or about 1/2 cup): A great source of fiber and whole grains, oats provide a hearty base for the bliss balls, helping to keep you full and satisfied.
Desiccated Coconut (20g or about 1/8 cup): This finely shredded coconut adds a delightful texture and a tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with the blueberries.
Smooth Nut Butter or Seed Butter (2 tablespoons): Choose your favorite nut or seed butter—smooth peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter work wonderfully. This adds creaminess and a boost of healthy fats and protein.
Optional: Maple Syrup (1-2 tablespoons): If you’re making these for adults or older kids who enjoy a little extra sweetness, a touch of maple syrup is a perfect addition.

How to Make Your Blueberry Coconut Bliss Balls

Blend the Ingredients: Place all the ingredients—frozen blueberries, oats, desiccated coconut, smooth nut butter, and maple syrup (if using)—into a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You should have a sticky, vibrant purple dough that’s easy to handle.
Shape the Bliss Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into approximately 14 small balls. If you’re making these for a baby under one year old, you can shape the mixture into finger shapes instead of balls, making them easier for little hands to grasp.
Coat with Coconut: Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to coat. This step not only adds more flavor but also makes the bliss balls look extra tempting.
Enjoy: Your Blueberry Coconut Bliss Balls are now ready to enjoy! They are perfect straight from the fridge or at room temperature.

Side Notes

Consistency Matters: If your mixture is too dry and crumbly, try adding a little more nut butter or a splash of water to help it come together. If it’s too wet, add a bit more oats or desiccated coconut.
Customizing Your Bliss Balls: Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can add in some chia seeds for extra fiber or swap the blueberries for another frozen fruit, like raspberries or strawberries, for a different flavor profile.
Storage Tips: These bliss balls are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will keep fresh for up to 2 days. Alternatively, you can freeze them in a freezer bag for up to a month. Just be sure to thaw them in the refrigerator or on the counter before serving.
