3-Ingredient Bliss Balls: The Healthy Dessert You’ll Crave!

Forget everything you thought you knew about healthy desserts! These 3-Ingredient Bliss Balls are here to change the game. They’re incredibly easy to make, packed with nutrients, and satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt. Plus, they’re completely customizable, so you can create endless flavor combinations!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats (or another nut butter of your choice)
• 1/2 cup pitted medjool dates (or another dried fruit like raisins or apricots)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds – the choice is yours!)

Instructions:

1. Pulse it Up: In a food processor, pulse the oats until they become a coarse flour. You can also use a blender or a high-powered nut butter grinder if you prefer a smoother texture.
2. Sticky Situation (the Good Kind!): Add the dates and pulse until they’re well incorporated and the mixture starts to stick together.
3. Nutty Goodness: Add your chosen nuts or seeds and pulse a few more times until just combined. Be careful not to over-process, or your bliss balls will become crumbly.
4. Form and Chill: Using a spoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.

Tips:

• Feeling adventurous? Add a pinch of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a flavor boost.
• For a more decadent experience, dip half of the bliss balls in melted dark chocolate (healthy fats, anyone?).
• These bliss balls are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Now, onto the not-so-truthful claims about ginger and cornstarch:

While ginger does have some amazing health benefits, the claims about a ginger and cornstarch mask being a magic bullet for radiant skin and anti-aging are simply not supported by strong scientific evidence. Here’s a breakdown:

• Limited Benefits: While ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, applying it topically may not translate to significant improvements in skin tone or wrinkles.
• Temporary Effects: Cornstarch may absorb excess oil, but this is a temporary fix and won’t address underlying skin concerns.
• Collagen Boost: There is no credible evidence that applying a ginger and cornstarch paste boosts collagen production in the skin.

Focus on a Holistic Approach:

For truly radiant skin, focus on a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and a consistent skincare routine tailored to your specific needs. If you’re concerned about wrinkles or other skin issues, consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

So ditch the “miracle mask” myths and enjoy these delicious, healthy 3-ingredient bliss balls! Your taste buds (and your skin) will thank you.
