Notes
Substitutions
- Dates: If you don't have dates, up the quantity of raisins
- Raisins: If you don't have raisins, up the quantity of dates or substitute with sultanas.
- Pumpkin seeds: These can be subbed for sunflower seeds, or nuts such as almonds, cashews or walnuts.
- Coconut oil: You can actually skip the coconut oil, I just find you. get a better mouthfeel if you include it, but the milo balls are fine with out it.
- Milo: You can use any malted drinking chocolate such as Ovaltine, or plain unsweetened cocoa works just fine as well.
Tips
- Be patient, just when you think the mix will never come together in the food processor, it all of a sudden will.
- Damp hands and equipment. No matter what bliss ball, energy bite or protein ball you are making, the mix is usually quite sticky. Use damp hands and a damp spoon and the strawberry balls will be much easier to roll.
