Okay, so this is my first post. Ever. 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.

I just prepared these as a post partum snack with orange and lemon instead of lime. Super yummy😍

I went as fast as I could and it still took me 40 minutes to make these 😅. But, they are absolutely phenomenal! Tastes like key lime pie! ☺️

Dear Sadia, I love those bliss balls and I just want to tell you that I'm so thankful for this recipe. I enjoy them also without Cranberries. Its funny that your first published recipe is with limes. Have a nice fresh day, Lisa

I really enjoy the sour and fresh taste of lime with the sweetness of the dates. I also made this recipe with lemons, which is also a good combination.

My second energy ball recipe. Easy to prepare and really tasty. A treat but healthy too. Better than a biscuit or sweet snack and still providing that sweet kick. Fab.

Dear PUL team and community,
I positively dislike the taste and texture of coconut. Any swap suggestions that would yield similar results in terms of nutrients/consistency?
Thanking you in advance,
Karmen 😉😘
PUL Team - Dec. 15, 2023, 1:10 a.m.
Thanks for the question, Carmen! We'd suggest equal parts of ground or well-chopped nuts or seeds that you enjoy. If you think the ball mixture need more sweetness you could add a touch of liquid sweetener such as maple syrup. Hope you enjoy the recipe if you're able to give it a try 😃

Really zesty and tasty! I struggled a little with getting the mixture to form into balls- - could have been because the cranberries I used were AJ-sweetened, so plumper and more difficult to work with. Even though I don’t have the greatest food processor, the nut mixture blended well and the dates and lime juice also incorporated nicely, but when I combined the wet and dry mixtures, it didn’t seem to bind well. A few dashes of maple syrup helped (though almond butter may have also helped?). But , anyway, the taste is still super refreshing and delicious!
PUL Team - Nov. 22, 2023, 11:59 p.m.
We're so glad that the bliss balls were enjoyed, Elyse, thank you! In case it helps in the future, using slightly damp hands can also make the mixture easier to work with 😊

Now he think with everything, "it taste not good, I think it's vegan". 🙄 My mission, all good sweet recipes from PUL for him. I know, all recipes are so good! Thanks. Next time cowboy cookies.

Is there a good substitude for the dates? I am unfortunatelly not a fan of the taste, but the combination of cranberries and limes sounds very goods, so would like to make it somehow.
PUL Team - June 24, 2022, 3:58 p.m.
Hey Kimberly, thanks for the question! The dates help add some natural sweetness and stickiness to the balls. We haven't tested it out, but perhaps experimenting with another dried fruit, some syrup, or nut butter to the desired taste and texture could work. We hope you enjoy the recipe if you give it a try 🙂

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

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 and can be found through the search bar 🍫
