This recipe is adapted from one that Chris\u2019 mom put together while we were visiting his family last month. I remember she was nervous to have us try her lavender bliss balls because of their floral flavor, but she assured me that she loved them and felt I would too. Well, she was right! And after just one ball, I told her I just\u00a0<\/span>had to<\/b><\/span>\u00a0have the recipe to share on our blog.<\/span><\/p>\n Last year when we visited New Jersey, Chris\u2019 mom put together vegan meatballs that also inspired another recipe on our blog, our\u00a0Eggplant Meatballs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from the\u00a0start of the year. If you haven\u2019t already, check them out! They are one of the most popular recipes on our blog, and I know I am biased, but trust me when I say it\u2019s because they are SO GOOD.<\/span><\/p>\n Make sure you tag us\u00a0on\u00a0Instagram\u00a0@sweetsimplevegan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0@consciouschris<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and hashtag\u00a0#sweetsimplevegan\u00a0if you recreate any of our\u00a0recipes, we love to\u00a0see your photos!<\/span><\/p>\n LAVENDER BLISS BALLS {OIL & GLUTEN-FREE}<\/span><\/p>\n An easy, dreamy & decadent lavender bliss ball recipe that is vegan, gluten-free and oil-free!
