Fibre-Rich Flax & Fig Bliss Balls

This recipe is the perfect energy and nutrient dense treat that your gut bugs will love and it's naturopath approved!

Each bliss ball contains a rich source of fibre which can help you fight cardiovascular disease, support a healthy weight and (my favourite) support the health of your gut.

Fibre is (one of) the best ways you can help keep your bowels regular and will help support positive changes in the types, number and function of your gut bugs, which has a huge impact your overall health (1).

Each bliss ball contains 3.13g fibre thanks to the linseed/flaxseed (2) and dried figs (3). That's 12.5% of your daily fibre needs as a women (25g/day) or 10.4% as a man (30g/day) (4).
