Bliss Balls Recipe (that can also boost your milk supply!)

Mumma's energy needs certainly increase when breastfeeding, and yet you never seem to have time to make healthy, filling snacks. Oats are known as the number one food for increasing your milk supply, which is why these healthy bliss balls have oats as a key ingredient. They are also filled with healthy fats and protein from the cashews which will leave you feeling fuller, longer and packed with energy from the dates. Even if you're not breastfeeding, these are delicious for kids as well as a healthy alternative for adults when craving a sweet snack and are literally made in 10 minutes as you're running out the door!

Add a few drops of food grade Peppermint Oil for a Choc-mint twist or try adding a tablespoon of flaxseed for added lactation-boosting benefits.
