Alkaline Recipe: Anti-Inflammatory Bliss Balls (No Bake, Super-Easy)
Anti-Inflammatory, Easy, Quick & Delicious: The Perfect Snack!
Oh boy, I love this one. This is another delicious, quick and easy recipe that I created for my Alkaline Life Club members a month or so ago…it’s fun, so easy to make, and takes just minutes.
This is so important to me, I am so passionate about making living alkaline and healthy as easy, quick, delicious and effortless for you as possible.
And this recipe is a perfect example of making alkaline living easy – these are the PERFECT snack!
Plus they are alkaline, antioxidant-rich and super anti-inflammatory.
The combo of the coconut, coconut oil, turmeric, and ginger is powerfully anti-inflammatory, the cinnamon helps regulate metabolism and the chili, well, it makes it spicy and lovely (just a touch of spice 😉 ).
Enjoy…

I see there are quite a few queries about rice syrup after the 2021 post. I’m wondering about that too, Ross.
Although lower in fructose that other syrups, rice syrup has a GI of 98 and, alarmingly, contains arsenic. There are numerous warnings about this, especially with regards to children. Dr Greger on NutritionFacts.com recommends avoiding products made with rice, including rice milk, rice crispies, rice syrup. Brown rice is, surprisingly, even worse, containing higher amounts of arsenic. (Boiling rice reduces the arsenic, so cooked rice is still safe to eat.)
Date syrup undergoes the least processing of all sweeteners and is nutrient dense. It has a natural balance of fructose and glucose, and a nice flavour. No source of sugar is perfect, but wouldn’t some delightful dates make your balls even more blissful, Ross?

Hello Ross
I purchased you book: The Alkaline Life. It’s a fabulous book, in fact it’s the most important health book I own. I’ve bought it for friends. It’s easy and fun to read and because you repeat various concepts it’s easy to remember and the tables of alkaline and acidic foods make it a wonderful reference.
Hi Ross
Loved eating these with my triplet grandkids ( no chilli tho )
Am wandering back into yr recipes after a break … loooking forward to getting back on track
Th as no’s for recipes !!
Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and information.
I don’t do well with coconut. Can I substitute with something else?
Is the rice syrup necessary. Seems to be a lot of glucose.
Could you also substitute Honey for rice syrup?
Can I substitute Date syrup for the rice syrup?
Hi –
Hope you will post your answers to questions below – on the site. I have a few of the same concerns. Thanks!

I’ve bought your Alkaline Reset Book which I am about to use to help me beat cancer.
Is there another way to make the bliss balls without using rice syrup as that is converted to glucose which would feed my cancer.
Also is Almond Meal the same hing as ground almonds
Thanks P Murray
What is Almond meal .?
Thx
It’s almost like cheating and eating dessert. Absolutely brilliant! Thanks you Ross.
What is Almond meal please
I have over 20 oxalate kidney stones small now so doing my best to not eat oxalate foods. Only nut safe is pecans.
Also gradually getting down high sugar.
Also have liver disease.
ANY Suggestions to go and STAY Alkaline is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
Where can I get sprouted bread? The ones I find have wheat in them. I don’t eat wheat or corn.
TY, Ross.

What can you use instead of rice syrup?
Hi Ross.
I’m a bit confused here. I thought the majority of Fruit was Acid forming. Only Grapefruit, lemon and limes etc were Alkaline. Had a Consultation with Gareth Edwards, who was telling me to eat fruit like Pears, apples etc. Eat these around 10am in the morning. So I am really confused about what information is right to be honest.

I made these little golden gems last week. Super easy & quick to make and truly delicious 🙂
