“Just because you’re a health-conscious, gluten-sensitive vegan whose New Year’s resolution is to lose a few pounds does not mean you can always resist a super-indulgent sugar fix. If you’re craving a treat, look no further for your bliss than Bliss Balls. Handmade in Burnaby by Jiva Organics, Bliss Balls are all-natural, free of preservatives and animal products, and full of healthy nuts, dates, and chocolate. Bliss Balls score extra points for being light on the planet (they come in a biodegradable package made from corn)—if not your waistline. Find your bliss at Choices (choicesmarket.com), Sweet Cherubim (1105 Commercial Dr.), and Famous Foods (1503 Kingsway). newworldnaturalfoods.ca —SM”
