No-Bake Coconut Lime Energy Bites

15 servings

Time: ~30 min

Ingredients

  • Dates, packed, pitted (measured after pitting)1 cup
  • Cashews, raw1 cup
  • Almond Flour¾ cup
  • Shredded Coconut, unsweetened¼ cup
  • Lime Zest1 tbsp
  • Lime Juice2–3 tbsp
  • Vanilla Extract¾ tsp
  • Sea Salt1 pinch

Instructions

  1. To make the coconut coating, place the shredded coconut and lime zest into a small bowl or plate and stir to combine. Set aside.

  2. To your food processor, add pitted dates and blend until small bits remain or a ball forms. Scoop out and set aside.

  3. To the now empty food processor, add your raw cashews, almond flour, and shredded coconut. Blend until a fine meal is achieved — about 20-30 seconds.

  4. Divide the date ball into four (or more) pieces and add it back in along with the lime zest, the lesser amount of lime juice, and the vanilla and salt. Blend until a tacky dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a little more lime juice (or water if the mixture is already limey enough). If it gets too wet or sticky, add more shredded coconut as needed.

  5. Scoop out ~1 Tbsp of dough and roll it into a ball. Then roll the ball into the coconut lime mixture to fully coat. Place onto a baking sheet or plate and repeat until all of your mixture is used up. Enjoy now or refrigerate for a snack later!

  6. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator (up to 1 week) or the freezer (up to 1 month).
