mango & coconut bliss balls

Written By Angelica Pupillo

I love giving people gifts… particularly edible ones!! I made a batch of mango and coconut bliss balls over the weekend and packaged each one up with a body appreciation quote .

Here is the recipe for the bliss balls and below you will also find 10 affirmations you can write and attach!!

recipe (makes 20)

ingredients

  • 1 cup dried mango

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut (plus a little extra for rolling)

  • 1 cup raw cashews

  • 1 cup buckinis

  • 1/2 cup medjool dates

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • Pinch of salt

  • 3/4 cup water

method

1. Simply pop all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until it forms a thick mixture! If it is struggling, just add a little more water.

2. Roll into balls (about the size of a ping pong ball) and then roll into desiccated coconut.

3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks (they won’t last that long though!!).

affirmations

  • I accept of all of me, just as I am in this moment

  • I appreciate my body and what it does for me every day

  • My worth is not determined by what others think of me or my body

  • I am allowed to eat the food that I enjoy

  • I trust that my body knows what to do with the food I eat

  • I can always ask for help

  • My body is my home

  • Moving my body is a celebration of what it can do

  • I am allowed to take a break
