These no-bake Bliss Balls have bright berry flavor, are packed with protein and beneficial fats, have only 5 ingredients, and store ridiculously well in the fridge for weeks. They are a satisfying snack to share with the kids.
Place the cashews in a medium bowl and cover with water. Let sit for 30 minutes to soften. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
Remove the pits from the dates, if needed.
Add the cashews to the bowl of a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse, stopping to scrape down the sides often, until ground into a relatively smooth paste-like dough.
Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to portion out dough, rolling each in the palm of your hand. Press into additional shredded coconut if desired. (If the batter becomes sticky, wash your hands and start again, or pop the batter into the fridge for a few minutes.)
Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
You may also want to cut them up into smaller pieces if your little one tends to stuff big bites of food into their mouth.
You can use almonds or sunflower seeds instead of cashews. Raw or roasted work, just be sure to choose unsalted.
Roll each in shredded coconut or cocoa powder to make them look like truffles.
Use all rolled oats instead of the coconut if you prefer. (Or all coconut instead of oats and coconut.)
