    Expert Tips & FAQ

    Can you freeze bliss balls?

    Bliss balls are freezer-friendly, making them the perfect 'grab and go' snack or lunch box filler.

    How many calories are in a bliss ball?

    Depending on the size and type of bliss ball, most generally range from around 80 to 150 calories per ball. 

    What type of nuts can I use in bliss balls?

    Almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, pepitas and linseeds are all great options!
