Yummy

Tonight our detox meets for the 2nd time in the series, so I whipped together some yummy bliss balls for them to try. Week 2 is when you go deep into the "elimination of less favorable habits" process and your body will begin to notice that you are taking its sugar away. The beauty of the bliss ball is that when you are on the detox program, you can eat as many as you like. They get you over that craving for sugar and are totally good for you.

When I cook, I rarely follow a recipe and nothing ever comes out the same way twice. There is no measuring with bliss balls. You just throw it all together in the food processor. Today I used the following:

• Jumbo multi-colored raisins
• Mission figs (dried)
• Cranberries (dried)
• Almonds
• Peanuts
• Honey (which it really didn't even need)
• Coconut
• and my special ingredient today.......Dates (they have awesome dates at Costco right now)

Basically, throw the nuts (maybe 2 cups) in the processor and process. Add to it the raisins, figs, cranberries, almonds and dates. The dates do have seeds so de-seed them. It will get gooey and stick together. You can add the honey if you want.

Roll into little balls and then roll in Coconut.

Enjoy!
