Matcha Bliss Balls with Coconut & Cranberries

I used to think bliss balls were totally overrated, but I've started to realise these power house balls can be something quite exciting.

Introducing my 'Matcha Bliss Balls with Coconut & Cranberries;' a careful selection of ingredients that I think create a bliss ball that's rather unique and quite a sensory for the tastebuds. 

My recipe combines the usual nut and date base, cashews & coconut being the base, along with bitter matcha green tea powder and sweet tart cranberries.
This results in a delicious well balanced ball that's perfect for an uplifting mid morning or afternoon snack. 

Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup desiccated coconut 
1 cup soft dates, pitted if necessary 
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp matcha powder (I use Matcha Maiden )
1 tbsp chia seeds
Pinch of salt

Method
In a food processor, process the cashews and coconut flakes until a rough meal, leaving some texture. 
Add the remaining ingredients and process until a dough is formed. 
Roll into balls, about the size of a chocolate truffle.

Store bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
