Coconut Snowmen

The Christmas treats that kids love are often loaded with fat and sugar. I love baking festive biscuits with my children, but it's even better when I can gather the kids in the kitchen to make something fun, healthy and tasty.

These coconut snowmen are simply almond coconut bliss balls threaded onto sticks and decorated. They're no-bake and can be made in 10 minutes! Decorate them with raisins and dried apricots and add a scarf.

Choose Organic

This year I was named as Best Organic Blogger by the Soil Association at the prestigious BOOM Awards. It was a huge honour and something that I'm very proud of! I've been helping to spread the word about the health and environmental benefits to choosing organic. Be sure to check out the Soil Association’s Organic Christmas Market where you'll find lots of festive food and beauty ideas. 

Part of winning the awards has been creating this recipe for the Organic Trade Board's campaign: Organic. Feed Your Happy

Why do I choose organic whenever I can? I’d rather not expose myself and my family to a cocktail of chemicals on our fresh fruit and veg, and I’d prefer that the produce we eat is more nutritious. I also want to make sure that we tread more softly on the planet.

As the Organic Trade Board says "When we eat organic, we feel happy.  Because we know the food is better for us, better for animals and the environment & we think it tastes better. We want to invite people to add happiness to their world by feeding their happy with organic food & drink this Christmas."

Easy no-bake vegan almond coconut bliss balls are threaded onto sticks to make fun Christmas snowmen. A fun festive healthy treat for kids.

How to make Coconut Bliss Ball Snowmen

You only need 6 ingredients (plus some decoration) to make these refined sugar-free, vegan, gluten-free coconut snowmen! I chose organic so I know that there aren't any nasties in the fun festive treats.

All of the ingredients are easy to find organic.

Shredded coconut

Ground almonds

Coconut oil

Coconut milk

Maple syrup

Almond essence

Ideally you'll also have some little hands helping to make them. This is a perfect festive afternoon activity, where the little ones can get creative - then tuck into a healthy snack.

I used kitchen scissors to then cut raisins into little balls and dried apricots into triangles to decorate them.

Coconut almond energy balls made into Christmas snowmen! These treats on sticks are easy and fun to make.

    They are so cute and festive. They would be perfect as gifts, wrapped in cellophane, especially for children.
