Healthy Teacher Brownie Bliss Balls

It's no mystery that a healthy teacher is a happy teacher. Happy teachers are calmer, more effective, and are an integral part of maintaining a positive classroom environment. I've found that when I eat healthy and nutritious food, it helps me go into a positive frame of mind, and the kids seem calmer around me too. It took me a while to notice it, but now I truly believe that kids feed off your energy! So if you are tired and need a healthy energy boost, these yummy brownie bliss balls are the perfect guilt-free teacher treat!

​The recipe for these healthy brownie bliss balls is easy to make, can be made in advance, and can be kept in your bag!  Everyone might enjoy them in the teacher lounge too if you dare to share.

What you will need...

EQUIPMENT
- Food processor
- Spoon
- Tray

INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup of almond meal
- 10 Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1/2 a cup of Quinoa Puffs
- 1 cup of desiccated coconut
- 2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter (No added sugar or salt)
- 2 Tablespoons of Raw Cacao Powder 
- 2 Tablespoons of organic rice malt syrup  

Optional extras for a boost:
- Cacao Nibs
- Chia seeds
- Slivered almonds

Instructions

3. Then, add the Quinoa Puffs. Blitz for a little bit more to mix them through. I prefer not to over process them to give the ball some texture. 

4. This next step is optional; you could skip this and just roll the mixture into balls.

Otherwise, for an extra energy boost:
- Set up a tray and sprinkle with the optional desiccated coconut and Chia seeds.
- Form the processed mixture into balls, then roll the balls around the tray to pick up the coconut and Chia seeds. These ingredients should stick easily to these bliss balls.
- For a bit more crunch, stick the slivered almonds into the top. These won't stick well, so you will need to poke them in a bit to hold. 

1. Place the almond meal, Medjool dates, peanut butter, and Cacao powder into a food processor and blitz until it looks like a crumb. 
2. Then, pour in the rice malt syrup while it continues to mix around. 

Optional extras: Roll the brownie balls in some desiccated coconut and Chia seeds.

Remember to keep these away from kids with nut allergies! 

These brownie bliss balls store well for a few weeks in an airtight container, so you can make a big batch in advance of a busy week. Remember, a healthy teacher is a happy teacher, and happy teachers make a positive classroom.

Best of luck to all starting a new school year!
