We are lucky enough to regularly get delicious, organic macadamias and macadamia butter from a local farm here in the Northern Rivers. Macadamias are absolute little health bombs, with a good fatty acid profile of unsaturated fats including omega 3’s, dietary fibre, plant sterols, and a wide range of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
This is a new summer bliss ball recipe we developed … to give that feeling of lying in a hammock on a tropical island!
