Healthy Coconut Lemon Energy Bites
These no-bake Coconut Lemon Energy Bites are my latest obsession. They’re the perfect way to satisfy the desire for something sweet, while also giving your body a boost of blood sugar stabilizing fats and fiber thanks to the cashews, coconut and chia seeds.
I shared a version of these in the past made with lime, but this coconut + lemon combination is the new winner in my opinion. They’re also ridiculously simple to make which is always a plus!
Step 1: Pulse cashews in the food processor.
Step 2: Add coconut, dates, chia seeds and a pinch of salt.
Step 3: Pulse until ingredients are well combined. It should looks like a crumble and won’t form a stick dough yet.
Step 4: Add the juice and zest of 1 large lemon. Pulse until a sticky dough is formed.
Step 5: With wet hands, roll into little balls. Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut.
