A quick and easy fruity bliss ball recipe that’s free from nuts – but not flavour! – making it the perfect energy snack to prep for the kid’s school lunch boxes.
These Fruity Bliss Balls are nut-free, meaning they are ideal to put in your children’s lunch boxes. They are especially great for kids who have a nut-free policy at their school, and only take 15 minutes to whip up.
I like to make mine in advance, so they are available for the kids to snack on during the week. A batch of these delicious Fruity Bliss Balls can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
My kids usually take 3 bliss balls to school in replace of a piece of fruit. You can read more about my lunchbox packing guide here.

I have never tried making bliss balls before, but I think I will give it a go, the only change I might make is swapping dried cranberries for the saltanas, I found the medjool dates at Woolworths this afternoon. I’m looking forward to tasting them, thank you for sharing.
Melissa I make a very simikar bliss ball to these with dried cranberries all the time for school and they are great.
Just wondering what I could use in place of the rolled oats? This looks great I can’t wait to make them for my son 🙂
ooh I’m so sorry Emma, I am actually unsure what would be the best choice to replace the oats, as they help to bind it all together.
Hello.id love to try making these bliss balls for my kids but dont have a food processor 🙁 How else could i make them
Thanks 🙂
I’ve been using your bliss ball recipe for a few years now. Perfect school lunch box treats as the y contain no nuts. Kids love them. Thank you
Glad you like them Julie! Kat x
Are they freezer friendly?
They taste good! Made the mistake of getting the kids to help me after cleaning the floor and needless to say, had to vacuum again as the coconut went everywhere! Also, my mixture didn’t bind?! I added more dates but had to add about a tablespoon of honey in the end. Thanks though – a nice, pretty quick and healthy snack alternative!
Made the fruity bliss balls . Turned out fantastic thanks . Need to keep the processor running till it forms a paste. It most certainly did and they taste yum !
Oh that’s great to hear Shelly. Thank you for sharing your feedback
Hi there
Are these freezer friendly? 🙂
I don’t freeze them because we eat them within a few days 😉 but I have heard many people freeze them with success. hope that helps!
