Description

These no-bake coconut-lemon energy bites are made using dates, oats and almonds. They are perfect meal prep snack, because they’re quick and easy to make and packed with wholesome, nutritious ingredients for long-lasting energy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut + more to roll the balls in
  • 1 cup quick oats

Instructions

  1. Place everything in a food processor or powerful blender (I used my VItamix) in the order listed.
  2. Pulse and blend until a thick paste like consistency is reached. Add a bit of warm water, 1 Tbsp at a time if needed.
  3. Roll into evenly sized balls and roll in additional coconut if desired.

Notes

If mixture is too dry, try adding a few more dates or a bit of warm water, 1 Tbsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Once you start rolling them you can also press them together a bit to help them start sticking.
