They often contain antioxidants and vitamins from ingredients like nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. However, they can be calorie-dense and high in natural sugars, so portion control is important.

How many Bliss Balls should I eat in one serving?

A typical serving size is 1-2 Bliss Balls, depending on their size and your energy needs. Each ball typically contains 100-150 calories, so eating more can quickly add to your daily calorie intake. They are intended as a snack or pre/post-workout energy boost.
