Okay, so this is my first post. Ever. Congratulations to me! I did not intend to make my first recipe with something that had limes in it, I swear. I suppose it was the universe’s way of telling me: when life gives you limes, make a website. So I did! Hope you like it.

Finally tried this, as we got gifted a few limes. Worked out perfectly, even without a food processer (my 2 year old is horrible afraid of the noise).
I just used ground almonds instead of raw and used a sharp knife to chop up the cashews quite small.
The important thing is to soak the dates in hot water before mashing/cutting them. This helps a lot to hold the dough together. Works for all the recepies I've tried so far.
Obviously the bliss ball taste great, but that is almost a given following PUL recepies

Unbelievably delicious! I made mine with lemon zest and lemon and lime juice (it's what I had). So good!

These energy balls are yummy and are good complements to fruits for fika👌🏻😋. I just put everything, except raisins/cranberries, in my food processor to speed up the process. It worked very well and I had my fika faster🤣. Lime and coconut are a wonderful combination, as it tastes fresh and deliciously keen in parallel. The sole reason for not giving it a 5/5 is that I’m a chocolate fan. A matter of preference😅

Hehe we love chocolate as well, Louise! Glad you enjoyed the balls despite the preference 😜 Perhaps our Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Balls recipe may be a fun one to try pickuplimes.com/recipe/chocol… 🍫
