Grain-Free Chocolate Cherry Bliss Balls

Grain-Free Chocolate Cherry Bliss Balls with 5 ingredients and naturally sweetened with Fruit Bliss Organic Dried Tart Cherries and dates.

Do you ever feel like the universe is sending you the same message over and over and over again?

A few weeks back I was almost certain that I broke my second toe.

It was just after M’s brother left, and I was trying to do too many things in my haste to make the house *ours* again.

I managed to half slid/half fell down the stairs in my new super soft Bombas socks.

When I heard a definite “POP” and felt my toe get pressed at an angle toes shouldn’t go, I saw the half marathon I just signed up for flash before my eyes.

My second toe turned all kinds of purples and blues and greens but the X-ray results came back as not broken!

It’s probably bad sprain; I’ve had to cut out running, climbing, and anything high impact or super balance-y to baby it along.

If I listen closely, I’m pretty sure the universe is screaming…”SLOW DOWN.”

A message that I am unwilling (and unable?) to receive.

So, I make Grain-Free Chocolate Cherry Bliss Balls instead.

15 Best Bliss Balls

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

15 Best Bliss Balls made with simple plant-based ingredients so you aways have a bite-sized snack on hand. Mix and match for meal prep!

POV: What exactly is a “bliss ball” anyway, and why do I have so many on my website?!

I can’t take credit for the term “bliss ball”, but I think it was a popular way to describe bite sized snacks around the time I started to share recipes on the Internet.

Think energy balls, energy bites, protein balls, etc., etc.

There was also the era of the “fat ball” around 2018…IYKYK.

Over the years, I amassed quite a collection of my favorite bite-sized balls.

Seasonal varieties, lazy no blender balls (my favorite), and balls with hidden veg.

We’ve got grain-free balls, oat-y balls, and even nut-free balls.

Basically, there’s a bite for everyone and for everyone’s pantry.

So I thought it would be nice to share this collection of all of my spherical favorites in one place.

Especially now, in January, when healthy snacking is something I’m consciously working on.

Because a homemade ball eaten mindfully is most certainly more satisfying than mindlessly grabbing granola.

These 15 Best Bliss Balls are made with simple plant-based ingredients so you aways have a bite-sized snack on hand.

Let’s have a ball!

Tahini Chocolate Chip Bliss Balls that taste like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in energy ball form! Perfect for a meal prep snack.

Last week I wore shorts outside on a warmer day for the first time this season.

As is annually customary, I felt naked pretty much the entire walk.

I kept a good pace so as not to blind neighbors with my ghostly legs and managed to stress-walk the 30 minute walk in about 20.

Since it’s warming up, I’ve stopped baking as much and am focusing more on hand-mix snacks and bites.

These Tahini Chocolate Chip Bliss Balls are my favorite fuel right now.

They taste like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in energy ball form!

If you’ve been here a while, you know that I’m tahini obsessed.

When I realized I didn’t have a bliss ball made with tahini, I was disappointed in myself.

So, please enjoy this post and consider its deliciousness as an apology for keeping you waiting for so long!

SunButter & Jelly Bliss Balls that taste like a PB&J in energy ball form, without any nuts! Perfect to meal prep for on-the-go snacking.

Happy April, everyone!

I brought in the month with some wonderful women away at a bachelorette weekend in Pennsylvania.

It’s been a while since I was in the company *just* girls, and I thoroughly enjoyed the dressing up and down.

We shared a cabin and had a slow-paced weekend of hiking, games, wine tasting, exploring, and chatting.

It was also my birthday on Saturday, so there was lots to celebrate.

When I got home I was inspired to rearrange my entire closet for spring!

I replenished my closet hangers with pastel T-shirts where jewel-toned fluffy sweaters used to be.

These SunButter & Jelly Bliss Balls are the energy ball you need to get through your spring cleaning.

They’re perfect to meal prep for on-the-go snacking and taste like chewy a PB&J without any nuts!

Blueberry muffin energy balls made with oats, almond flour, nut butter, seeds, and dried blueberries. Perfect to meal prep for the week!

It’s starting to feel like home here in Maryland!

Last weekend we hung photos and I arranged my plants in nice little nooks around the living room.

I tried out a local yoga studio and a new trendy coffee shop and roastery.

We explored several grocery options and perused the aisles thinking, hey, this could be my new spot.

Naturally, we’ve scouted out all of the nearby takeout options.

But don’t let the takeout bags fool you, plenty of food has been made, here, too, friends!

I even had my first *real* dinner party last weekend, hosting two of my friends for a plant-based pizza party in.

And on Sundays, I meal prep for the week ahead in a kitchen that still feels oddly unfamiliar and new.

My new favorite snack to have and to hold are these Blueberry Muffin Energy Balls!

They’re made with just 8 ingredients and one bowl for a quick compact snacking solution.

SunButter Date Bliss Balls

By Flora & Vino 7 Comments

4-ingredient no bake energy balls made with sunflower seed butter and dates! Naturally sweetened and perfect for meal prep snacking!

Tomorrow is the day.

I’m going outdoor climbing for the first time!

Last night I practiced how to tie myself into the harness and belay over and over and over again.

My figure eight knot is looking a lot more recognizable as an 8 instead of a mess of twisted rope and my stopper knot actually stops.

Also, we had a pretty solid makeshift anchor situation going, guys.

The rope looped around the stairway banister and cascaded down the steps to the basement.

As I ascended steps, I practiced the motion of belaying.

We’re packing the car tonight with the supplies and gear and FOOD.

Wait, you *knew* I would come to the crag prepared with snacks.

These SunButter Date Bliss Balls are so easy to roll out for your adventuring with just 4-ingredients.

Whether you’re adventuring tomorrow or not, make these for a quick snack packed with plant-based energy!

Lemon Chia Bliss Balls

Energy balls made with almond flour, dates, cashews, chia seeds, and plenty of lemon. Mix them up for a clean spring snack!

Guys, it’s been a long freaking month.

I think it’s safe to say that March came in like a lion and went out like…a bigger lion.

I’ve been trying to prioritize making my home my sanctuary for the foreseeable future.

But, F&V wouldn’t be in business if there wasn’t a huge kitchen mess.

The towering kitchen mess today looked completely disproportionate to the sweet little bites it produced.

But hey, at least I have a stash of these Lemon Chia Bliss Balls to munch on in said sanctuary, yeah?

These sweet citrus energy bites are perfect to make ahead for a spring inspired snack!

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Carrot cake in bliss ball form! Energy bites packed with walnuts and carrots naturally sweet with dates and raisins. Perfect for meal prep!

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit.

At the beginning of March I made myself a goal for the month to get outside for a 15 minute walk every day.

The idea: Lace up the sneakers, bound out the door, and walk.

It’s so liberating leaving my sometimes cluttered kitchen and mind at home while making large loops around my neighborhood complex.

I’m happy to report that half way through March I’m crushing it; with no missed days yet.

Usually I like taking my stroll first thing in the AM, but this week I’ve been rocking my sunset walks, sauntering around the block as the last rays of light hit the asphalt.

So make those healthy habits happen.

You know what else I made a habit recently?

These Carrot Cake Bliss Balls have all of the sweet notes of carrot cake rolled into a compact ball.

You just need 8-ingredients to make these Carrot Cake Bliss Balls that are grain-free, and naturally sweetened with dried fruit!

Something about blasting Michael Bublé and Mariah Carey instantly transports me into the holiday spirit.

So when I finally get my tree, I’ll be decorating it with all of this plus Gingerbread Bliss Balls.

Because everyone needs a little festive fuel to deck the halls!

These gingerbread inspired energy bites are ready in under 10 minutes to fuel you through your busy holiday season.
