Prune Power Balls Are Yummy With Healthy Ingredients and Full of Energy

These prune power balls rolled in coconut have a bit of history.  Back in the hippy days, they were the famous ‘Bliss Balls’ that we all made very frequently. We made them with what we now call healthy superfoods.  Superfoods are packed with nutrition; the body loves them. You may have superfoods in your kitchen right now and don’t know it.

Prune Power Balls

By eating these every day you can energize and balance your body without costly vitamins and medical bills. Foods affect us on many levels and understanding these factors can help you make better health choices.

Superfoods have specific influences on the body.  That’s why we say they have ‘power’.  To read about where all those benefits come from, click on this link:   The 5 Sources of Power in Superfoods

Prune Power Balls Ingredients

Often power balls are made with dates and have a high GI. So, making these with prunes that have a lower GI is actually better for weight loss and overall health.

Yes, prunes will help you poop and they are also a nutritious superfood. They are full of many amazing health benefits from helping with constipation to lowering blood pressure to even helping with weight loss.  They are good for diabetics as they have a low glycemic index , so they don’t spike blood sugar.  Prunes also help prevent bone loss and improve liver function and are a great source of dietary fiber, potassium and vitamin K.  So do enjoy a healthy prune or two as these dried plums are a tasty sweet treat and a prune power ball is a delicious way to indulge in them.

Also, the walnuts provide a nice crunch to these Prune Power Balls and are also highly nutritious. They are filled with good protein and a rich source of minerals (manganese, copper, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium). I love walnuts! My mom loved to cook with them because they add flavour and crunch to any meal. Now I know that walnuts are also highly nutritious, so much so that I consider them a superfood.

The almond butter is packed with protein and adds many nutrients to the Prune Power Balls coming from the almonds giving this an easy to eat treat even more protein power.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup prunes
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
  • 3 tbsp coconut plus extra for rolling them in

Instructions

  • Cut the prunes into very small pieces. I do this instead of putting them in a food processor, but either way will work. Do it the way you enjoy.
  • Now put the cut-up prunes into a bowl and then mix in the almond butter and vanilla extract.
  • Then mix in the walnuts and coconut.
  • Place some more coconut in a small bowl on the side. Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and with your hands roll into a ball.
  • Then roll each ball into the coconut.
  • Now put them into a covered container and refrigerate them for 2 to 3 hours.
  • These prune power balls can be stored in the refrigerator for a few weeks.

We had a variety of flavors of ‘Bliss Balls’; this was a favorite.  It did have lots of honey in it though which I reduced the quantity.  You can replace it with rice syrup.  Also, it had wheat germ in it which I replaced to make it gluten-free.
