Ingredients

Lemon & Coconut Energy Balls

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup macadamia nuts

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

8 dates, pitted

1/4 cup cashew butter

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp turmeric

Coconut & Lemon Topping

1/4 shredded coconut

2 tbsp dried lemon zest (we like Oaktown Dried Lemon Zest)

Directions

Using a food processor, combine the ingredients shredded coconut through turmeric and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Scoop the cookie dough balls using a 1 oz scoop or 2 tbsp and hand roll them in shape so they are round and smooth.  

Combine topping ingredients in a small bowl and toss to mix.  Working one at a time, roll each shaped ball in the topping mix, coating all sides.  Cover and set in the refrigerator to sit for at least 2 hours.  Once chilled, they’re ready to enjoy!
