This is a simple, yummy recipe but I’ve created two different versions. The first Pineapple Bliss Ball recipe is a healthy version using Almond Meal which would be great as an after school snack but should be avoided in lunchboxes if your school has a “nut-free” policy. The second Pineapple Bliss Ball recipe contains no nuts and is, therefore, a perfect option to send to school in lunchboxes. Both versions of this recipe contain only 4 ingredients meaning it’s quick and easy to make. Enjoy!

Serves: 22
Ingredients …
- 1 ½ cups almond meal
- 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut
- 1 x 440g can crushed pineapple, drained

Method …
- Please note: it’s important to drain as much juice as possible from the pineapple otherwise the mixture will be too “wet”. To do this, tip the contents of the can into a strainer and then press out the excess juice with the back of a spoon.
- Place almond meal, desiccated coconut, crushed pineapple and honey in a food processor and blend until well combined.
- Roll one tablespoonful of mixture into a ball and roll in extra desiccated coconut to coat. Repeat until all mixture has been used.
- This recipe will make approximately 22 balls (depending on the size you roll them). Store in the fridge until firm or freeze for up to 2 months.
