How many kilojoules in that bliss ball?

Bliss balls are promoted as a healthier snack choice, but if we don’t watch serving sizes, energy can creep up.

Bliss or energy balls often come in packs of five, but eating all five at once will pack a heavy energy punch. Try to stick to having just one.

Choose bliss balls that have a mixture of fruit and nuts, with no added sugars such as rice malt syrup or fruit juice. Bliss balls are a high-fibre, sustained energy snack option.

We compared the kilojoules in three balls (or two for the larger Amazeballs) with those in an average royal gala apple – around 300kJ.
