    Ingredient Notes

    A white countertop with the ingredients needed to make almond joy cannabis bliss bliss including nut butter, milk, almond extract, chia seeds ,coconut, almonds, syrup, oats, dates and cannabis oil
    • Quick cook oats: be sure to use quick cook oats, not traditional rolled oats, for the best consistency possible.
    • Dates: buying pre-chopped dates makes this recipe easy, but if you can't find them, simply chop up some pitted dates with a large kitchen knife.
    • Almonds: be sure to use slivered almonds for the right consistency.
    • Chia seeds: if you've never tried chia seeds before, they can easily be found in your local grocery store.
    • Coconut flakes: be sure to use unsweetened shredded coconut flakes for the right consistency.
    • Milk: opt for any type of milk that you want from traditional dairy milk, to plant-based milk like hemp seed milk, or even cannabis-infused milk.
    • Nut butter: feel free to use any type of nut or seed butter here. For a nut-free option, try hemp seed butter.
    • Maple syrup: you can substitute honey or agave syrup here, if desired.
    • Cannabis oil: you can use any type of cannabis oil here you want. Find all options listed under the Alternative Infusion Options below.
    • Dark chocolate chips: or any type of chocolate you want to garnish these treats with.

    Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

    The Step-by-Step Process

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Bliss balls can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer, so here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about this recipe from my Well With Cannabis Community.

    Can I add a protein source?

    Yes, I recommend unflavored collagen protein powder. You can easily find these at your local health food store or buy it online. Each scoop of collagen provides 20 grams of high-quality protein that can help to keep you full and satisfied after your morning meal. I prefer collagen peptides because they are a single ingredient protein source, but if you have a protein powder you already love, feel free to use it!

    Are these treats low sugar?

    These balls have only ¼ cup of added sugar from the maple syrup and a little bit from the chocolate drizzle. Otherwise, these tasty treats are naturally sweetened with dates. These tasty protein bites are also nutrient-dense, they provide many important vitamins, minerals, and amino acids from the collagen protein powder. The oatmeal and chia seeds provide complex carbohydrates that help to prevent blood sugar spikes, while the almonds and hemp-seed butter provide heart-healthy fats needed to keep you full and focused during the day.
