The calendar mightiness tell that Spring has started, but Colorado Springs is making April Fool's Day a week-long number alongside the weather condition this week. So what's a girl to practise too whip upwardly her ain rainbow inward the kitchen? 

To live honest, these bliss balls actually emerged yesteryear accident. It was a serenity weekday nighttime together with I needed something to soothe my heed together with create amount my belly...so, of course, at that spot was no improve selection than playing around inward the kitchen! Since I'd finished off my Iron-Packed Banana Bombs the previous week, bliss balls were a must...and they turned out fifty-fifty improve than imagined. Not solely are these gluten free together with vegan, but they're also paleo, refined refined saccharify free together with easily adaptable to whatsoever other nutrient allergies. Perhaps the best part? These colors are 100% NATURAL thanks to a multifariousness of superfoods together with fruit. What rainbow tin live better than that? 

While they gustation similar dessert, my rainbow balls also pack gold-star worthy nutrition. Besides beingness packed alongside fiber, dates also offer high doses of potassium, copper, manganese, Fe together with Vitamin B6. Bananas convey also been shown to boost pump wellness (thank y'all potassium) together with assistance digestion - together with the added superfoods' health benefits are simply a bonus!

If you're fix to brighten upwardly a dreary wintertime day, start yesteryear gathering the next ingredients (to shape around xx nickel-sized bliss balls).

Basic base:

eleven dates, soaked inward H2O for a few hours or until tender
1/2 ripe banana, mashed
Liberal milk shiver of cinnamon

That closed up!

Extras: 

Enough coconut, buckwheat or rice flour to create a doughy texture 

Crunchy add-ins similar chia seeds, puffed rice, cacao nibs, rice flakes or anything else your pump desires!

Flavorings similar nutmeg, cacao, maca, vanilla extract, mint extract, etc.

As complicated equally these colored bliss balls mightiness look, they are genuinely super simple. Start yesteryear soaking your dates inward a shallow bowl of water for a few hours or until extremely gooey. Then, pour out the engagement H2O (or salve it for future baking or smoothies!) together with crush your dates inward a bowl. You could role a blender or nutrient processor, but a fork plant simply equally well! Then, add together inward your mashed banana together with cinnamon. 

My form of rainbow...

Now, for the fun part. To brand separately colored bliss balls, I move on that base mix inward 1 bowl together with transfer minor portions to some other bowl for coloring together with mixing. Add around a tablespoon of your date/banana mixture to a separate bowl. Then, mix inward plenty flour(s) to brand the mixture to a greater extent than doughy than sticky (typically around a tablespoon or two), along alongside whatsoever of your other flavorings or crunchy toppings. 

Now, for business office you're been dying to know about: the natural dyeing! Just follow the listing below: 

• Yellow - add together a spoonful of turmeric to your split mix 
• Blue/green - spirulina powder 
• Chocolate - a mix of maca together with cacao pulverization or, similar I did, a spoonful of Macaccino 
• Indigo - mashed blackberries (you tin add together acai pulverization if y'all convey it) 
• Pink - mashed raspberries 

Add these lastly powders/berries in, mix well, together with whorl into balls! I kept mine nickel-sized ('cause so y'all larn to mix together with gibe flavors!), but experience gratis to brand them equally big equally your pump (and mouth) desires.

I genuinely didn't initially excogitation to create a rainbow, but in 1 lawsuit I saw how beautiful the turmeric together with spirulina balls turned out, I challenged myself to run into how many other (natural) colors I could create. Some other colorful ingredients y'all could experiment alongside include:

• Black - reason dark chia seeds together with blackstrap molasses 
• Orange - puréed sweet potato
• Red - mashed strawberries 
• Green - puréed spinach 

Really the sky (rainbow pun intended) is the limit! 

My favorite breakfast!

The same tin live said for how y'all eat these rainbow bliss balls. Because of their mix of easily digestible carbohydrates, they brand perfect pre together with post service workout snacks, or an ideal pick-me-up during that iii o'clock slump at work. You tin also enjoy them on smoothies (because what can't y'all seat on a smoothie, really?) or yogurt parfaits. 

To store them, y'all tin seat them inward a sealed container inward the refrigerator for 1 calendar week or move on them inward the freezer. Freezing them volition ensure they remain fresh for at to the lowest degree a span months. To eat, simply pick out a few that y'all want together with allow them thaw at room temperature for around 10 minutes. 

There's a poem I lately discovered yesteryear Aberjhani that says: "Dare to love yourself/as if y'all were a rainbow/with gilded at both ends." Now, I won't claim that these rainbow bliss balls are guaranteed forms of self love. 

Which would y'all consume first?

But I practise retrieve taking the fourth dimension to experiment inward the kitchen alongside null expectations together with filling your trunk alongside beautiful, healthy treats is a pretty skillful start! 

So, whether Spring has peeked its caput inward your neighborhood or wintertime is yet the word, simply know that rainbows tin definitely live inward your close future...and inward your stomach!
