bliss balls (using up nut pulp from nut milk)

I hate to waste anything so I set out to make a recipe that used my my left over pulp from my nut milk (recipe here). Bliss balls are super easy to make and they are nutrient dense foods rich in minerals, good fats and fibre. They make a fantastic snack to have pre-made in the fridge to grab on the run or throw into a lunch box (providing your child's school isn't nut free).
