Lemon Coconut Energy Bites

Springtime calls for lemon and coconut! Make these Lemon Coconut Energy Bites for plant-based protein and the best snacking flavor in every single bite.

With the weather warming up and outside days right around the corner, it was definitely time for a lemony energy bite!

INGREDIENTS

– Raw unsalted cashews – Unsweetened shredded coconut – Medjool dates – Lemon zest – Lemon juice – Vanilla extract – Fine salt

STEP 1

Add cashews and coconut to a completely dry food processor fitted with the "S" blade.  Process until crumbly.

STEP 2

Add the dates, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and salt and process again until dates have been fully incorporated and the mixture sticks when you pinch it between your fingers.

STEP 3

Use a tablespoon to scoop out one tablespoon of the mixture at a time. Roll into balls between your hands and set on the parchment-lined baking sheet

STEP 4

Place ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut and the zest of 2 large lemons in a wide shallow bowl. Gently roll each ball in the mixture until fully coated. Place each energy bite on the baking sheet.

STEP 5

Place the baking sheet in your freezer. You can enjoy immediately at room temperature but I prefer to eat them when they have hardened up a bit in the freezer.
