Print Recipe

These Healthy Raspberry Bliss Balls with Dates are the perfect 5-minute snack for that afternoon slump. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients like Medjool dates, frozen raspberries, and almonds, they are naturally sweet, tart, and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted (about 10–12 dates)
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries (do not thaw)
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. If your Medjool dates feel firm or dry, place them in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain well. If they are already soft and sticky, skip this step.
  2. Add the raw almonds to a food processor. Pulse 8 to 10 times until broken down into small pieces (a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks).
  3. Add the shredded coconut, chia seeds (if using), and sea salt to the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
  4. Add the pitted dates and frozen raspberries (do not thaw) to the food processor. Process for 20 to 30 seconds until it looks crumbly. Scrape down the sides with a spatula.
  5. Continue processing for another 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture clumps together into a cohesive, slightly sticky dough. If too dry, add one more date or a teaspoon of water. If too wet, add a tablespoon more shredded coconut or almond flour.
  6. Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. Using slightly damp hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a smooth ball. Place on the parchment paper. Repeat until all dough is used (about 14 to 16 balls).
  7. Refrigerate the rolled balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Use frozen raspberries for best texture; do not thaw. If dough gets too warm while rolling, chill the bowl for 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
