Lemon Bliss Balls

These lemon bliss balls are the kind of snack you make on Sunday and reach for all week. Bright, zesty, and naturally sweet, they're made with almond meal, fresh lemon, and a Healthy Trim Vanilla sachet for a protein boost that turns a simple bliss ball into a genuinely nutritious treat. Perfect for curbing that 3pm craving without reaching for something you'll regret.

Why these work as a healthy snack

Most bliss balls are held together with dates and loaded with natural sugars. This version uses coconut oil and maple syrup for binding, with almond meal as the base, giving you healthy fats, fibre, and protein in every ball. The Healthy Trim Vanilla sachet adds 26 essential vitamins and minerals, whey protein, and gut-supporting prebiotics and probiotics, so these are doing a lot more than just tasting good.

Serves 14 | Prep time: 15 mins + chilling | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1¾ cups almond meal
• 1 sachet Healthy Trim Vanilla
• 1/3 cup desiccated coconut
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• Juice of 1 large lemon
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 vanilla pod, split and scraped
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
• Pinch of pink salt
• 1 cup desiccated coconut for rolling (or shredded for a chunkier finish)

Method:

1. Place all ingredients except the rolling coconut into a food processor and blend for 20 seconds, or until the mixture starts to form a large ball.
2. Remove the blade. Take one heaped teaspoon of mixture, roll into a ball in the palm of your hand, then toss in the shredded coconut.
3. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
4. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until firm.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to a month.
