Nut Free Bliss Ball

Bliss balls are a regular favourite in our house. I try to make them using different seeds and nuts each time to get a variety of nutrients in. These are so great you’d never know they are nut free.

As a school teacher and mum, I am well aware of how many children are nut free these days. Some children are so allergic to nuts even touching playground equipment that has been in contact with other children who have touched nuts can cause anaphylaxis. Scary. Aside from this scare factor, it’s so important to change our diet regularly to get a variety of different nutrients and fats. Changing the nuts and seeds you use in your favourite bliss ball recipe is a great way to do this.
