Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

5-ingredient beet brownie bliss balls made with cacao powder, nut butter, and roasted beets! Perfect for a healthy snack, dessert, or pre/post workout fuel.

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

Friends!

How has your weekend been?

I’ve had beets on the brain since my trip with Love Beets this past week to visit their organic beet farm and factory.

After eating many a beet during my stay in upstate New York, you’d think I might be sick of this hearty root veggie.

…FAT CHANCE.

Things have been a little topsy-turvy here after traveling, so I decided to grab some beets upon my return and make bliss balls!

These Beet Brownie Bliss Balls only require 5-ingredients, 1 Love Beet, and a little room in the fridge (and your stomach) for healthy snacking all week long!

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

Fun Fact: You can trace my first version of these bliss balls back to the Total Solar Eclipse of Summer 2017.

Did you see it?!

I didn’t have the special viewing glasses here at home, so Harper and I stayed indoors and made bliss balls instead.

To be honest I didn’t notice it getting freakishly dark outside, so maybe we weren’t in a very good viewing zone.

Anyway, snacking on chocolate and beets to celebrate, I fondly called them “Blackout Beetroot Bliss Balls”.

But they taste like brownies, so I decided a name change was in order.

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

You’re going to love these bite sized brownie bliss balls!

They’re moist, chocolate-y, and chewy.

The recipe is gluten free, oil free, and naturally sweetened with juicy Medjool dates!

And there’s a brave beet in there acting like a veggie ninja extraordinaire.

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

I was already a huge fan of Love Beets, but seeing the entire process from farm to factory to bliss ball gives my beet-inspired baking and cooking a little more context.

I love the way that they’re transforming the way the general public thinks about beets.

Because beets…are the coolest.

Especially when they’re organically grown and already peeled, roasted, and ready for ANYTHING.

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

Throwing a Love Beet in the recipe adds moisture, vitamins and minerals, and a touch of earthiness and sweetness.

Feeling skeptical throwing a beet into your bliss balls?

Trust me, I was too at first!

If you’ve tried my Oil -Free Dark Chocolate Beet Muffins, you know that beets and chocolate go together like peas and carrots.

So it’s like that pairing except there’s no oven required and you can spoon the goodness out of the blender and into your mouth in less than 10 minutes flat.

If you can’t find Love Beets near you, sub one small roasted and peeled beet instead!

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

The balls have got just the right amount of “stickiness” without being oily (a pet peeve of mine with bliss balls!).

The dates, beet, and raw cacao powder blend together to make a wonderful bittersweet chocolate flavor that’s perfect to snack on.

For sweeter balls, throw in an extra date or two.

To make this recipe grain-free, sub almond flour for the oat flour for varied results.

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

If you’re looking for more of a protein punch, try subbing half or all of the cacao powder for your favorite chocolate protein powder.

I used almond butter in my balls, but any nut butter will work!

Cashew or peanut butter would be fantastic here, too.

Try rolling them cacao powder for a powdered finish or raw hemp hearts for texture.

For an extra antioxidant blast, mix in cacao nibs for a double the chocolate!

Beet Brownie Bliss Balls

Enjoy these Beet Brownie Bliss Balls as an energizing anytime treat.

I like to make a bunch on Sunday to keep in the refrigerator for bite-sized brownie bliss all week long!

They’re perfect for a mid-morning or afternoon snack, or to pop a few in your mouth before or after a sweat session.

Because they’re “truffle-esque”, these bliss balls could (and should) definitely pass for dessert, too!

    What a coincidence I have been on a beet kick the past couple weeks – just finished 5 cubes for bedtime snack? This recipe – these look amazing. I cannot wait to try. By the way have you tried NuttZo yet is an amazing 100% nut and seed butter and *celtic sea salt. Hear about on the TFF podcast and finally the Costco in my area starting carrying it and was able to try today. It is seriously the BOMB! Let me know if you get a chance to try it and what you. Thank you for all of the awesome, inspiring words and VEGAN WHOLE PLANT SOS recipes you provide. I look forward to every email I receive from you.
    Best,
    Lisa

      Hi Lisa!

      I’m on a permanent beet kick over here!!! They’re so sweet, i can imagine they’d be a great after dinner treat 🙂 I have tried Nuttzo! It’s very good! I didn’t know it was at Costco- that’s pretty cool. You’re so welcome– I seriously love your feedback! Let me know what you think of these balls if you try them!

    I found these by following a Reddit link, and I am excited to try them! Wanted to clarify – use a blender for these, or a food processor?

      Hi Natalie! You can use a blender or food processor- either will do the job! I used my Vitamix! Let me know what you think!

I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the midst of cookbook edits and stunning spring weather, I felt called to unfurl my Manduka mat and talk my friends and family through a feel-good flow.
-
At first, I felt rusty; stumbling through cues and postures. What’s that pose, again? What’s that body part? I forgot options; I forgot pacing, I forgot to balance active poses with rejuvenating rest.
-
But I’m starting to get it back. The confidence that comes with repetition. The joy that comes from seeing a student let go, watching tangible tension melt away; I’m an audience to mindfulness.
-
I wanted to become a yoga teacher because it felt like the single greatest gift I could give to another human being. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the greatest gift that I give to myself.
-
As I get back into teaching, I’m reminded that crafting yoga classes is a beautiful, delicate artform. One that I’m excited and eager to get better at.
-
I teach vinyasa yoga—A creative flow. I’m currently working on theming my classes—conveying a subtle suggested message through movement, music, and words.
-
Last Friday I taught my book club and I spent hours working on the soundtrack and the sequence. I shifted around openings and contractions, counted things in threes, and shuffled songs in a clear crescendo towards peak posture, softening into savasana.
-
It reminded me of the English classes I took in high school. We tirelessly underlined paperback books, searching for themes, motifs, and expressive language with a pink highlighter and red ballpoint pen.
-
Writing a yoga sequence is kind of like that, but in reverse. This time I’m the author, the creator, the conductor, sprinkling in symbols and allusion and foreshadowing to guide towards the truest version of you.
-
I strive to talk through the poses with expressive language and concise cues. Watching for reactions, feeling what the collective is feeling, working with them to achieve a union of mind, body, and spirit.
-
That’s yoga.
-
What makes a *good* yoga class for you? Please comment and share! I’m hoping to open up classes to my community eventually. 😘

ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hi ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hiking this weekend about Girl Scouts, which led us to think about Girl Scout cookies. These are vegan and gluten-free “Tagalong” cookies with an almond  butter twist! They’re easily made with almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, and dark chocolate. The recipe is very easy to make with simple whole foods ingredients that you probably already have on hand! The only “trick” to the recipe is to freeze each layer well before continuing to the next step! 😃 Grab the full recipe via the the link in my profile to make yours!!!
