Date and oat balls paired with a fruit tisane tea | Vegan sweets

A healthy and sweet energy ball. Bliss or energy balls are a fantastic snack that you can prepare in advance and store in the fridge or freezer, making them the perfect healthy snack when you are craving something sweet. There are many varieties and are so easy to make. We would like to show you a few different bliss ball recipes and start today with dates and oats. You can make them in bulk and freeze them, so you have enough treats for a few weeks. These date and oat balls taste so good and will give you a boost when you are feeling low on energy and a bit hungry – but without the sugar and empty calories.

A fruit tea called tisane

As we are talking healthy snacks, how about enjoying them with a beautiful organic fruit tea? Well, technically, a fruit tea is not a ´tea´ as it doesn´t contain any leaves from the tea plant Camellia sinensis and is therefore caffeine free. It is a ´tisane´ which means a beverage without tea leaves. So we should call it ´fruit tisane´, but usually it is referred to as ´fruit tea´.

Semper Tea offers organic fruit teas or tisanes, pure and natural with many healthy ingredients. Fruit teas are known as a healthy alternative to caffeinated drinks loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
