Lemon, Coconut Energy Bites
Preparation Time: about 20 minutes
Servings: 10 bites
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 6 dates
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Cream Concentrate
- 1 tablespoon lemon extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoon maca powder
- optional toppings: unsweetened, shredded coconut, lemon zest
Directions:
In a food processor, grind up your almonds and cashews until they make a grainy, flour-like consistency. Add in the dates and blend. Next, add in the rest of the ingredients (except optional toppings) and blend until the dough begins forming a ball.
Roll the mixture into 1/2-inch balls. If you are using toppings, spread them out on a flat plate and roll the balls in the toppings, coating them completely, and serve.
