Lime Energy Bites Snack (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Core Items

01 - 12 large Medjool dates (roughly 1 cup)

02 - 3/4 cup of raw, unsalted cashews

03 - Half a cup of shredded coconut flakes

04 - Juice and zest from 4 key limes (or one standard lime)

05 - 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup

→ Outer Layer

06 - Extra shredded coconut (around 1/4 cup) for rolling

# Instructions:

01 - Throw the dates and cashews into a food processor. Blend them up until they look like fine crumbs or sand.

02 - Add the coconut, lime zest and juice, and maple syrup to the processor. Blend it until you get a dough. If it's not sticking together, add small splashes of water—a tablespoon at a time—until it holds when you squish it.

03 - Grab small amounts of dough to create bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in size. Roll them in the extra coconut flakes if you’d like, then set them on a parchment-covered plate.

04 - If you want soft bites, go ahead and enjoy them now. For a firmer texture, stick them in the freezer for about an hour. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the freezer, or use the fridge if you want them softer.

# Notes:

01 - These key lime bites give you the flavor of a pie slice, but in snack form and way healthier!

02 - Feel free to swap key limes for a regular one—just use one large lime to match the same tangy flavor.

03 - You get to pick the texture! Eat them soft after making, or freeze to get a firmer consistency.

04 - Totally vegan, gluten-free, and made with only a handful of simple, wholesome ingredients.
