TURMERIC LEMON BLISS BALLS

These little balls of goodness are perfect as a snack for the lunchbox or for anyone on the go. They don't have too many nuts in them which is rare for bliss balls, so they don't cost much to make! I have used Cocavo's turmeric lemon oil. I love there oils because they are made from premium coconut and avocado oil. It also adds such a depth of flavour which you can't get from regular oils. Spending a bit more money on quality oils is worth it. Highly refined and processed oils are not good for us in any shape or form, even in small amounts. Make the delicious change!
