Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, divided
  • 4 cups Medjool dates, pitted
  • 6 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine your almonds, one cup of coconut, and dates. Pulse until combined, regularly scraping down the sides. Add your cocoa powder and continue blending until a thick dough remains.
  2. Adjust Consistency If the dough is too crumbly, add some liquid (water or milk), one tablespoon at a time, until the batter is thick and smooth.
  3. Shape Energy Balls Transfer your energy bites dough into a mixing bowl. On a large plate, add the remaining two cups of coconut. Using your hands, form 24 small balls of dough, rolling each one in the coconut until completely covered.
  4. Chill and Serve Place energy balls on a plate and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until firm.

Notes

  • Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the energy balls to firm up.
