Optional: Additional unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut flakes to roll the balls in.
Directions:
Place all ingredients except blueberries, coconut oil, and flakes/shredded coconut in a food processor and blend until smooth. If you do not have a food processor, cut dates and figs into little pieces with a knife and mix together with the other ingredients.
Add blueberries and flakes/shredded coconut in a food processor and mix on low, just a little, until blended. Pour Virgin Coconut Oil and blend on low for another 10 seconds.
Remove from food processor and roll into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll in extra shredded coconut if you desire.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before eating.
Sometimes when I do not have time, I just spread all the mixture 1/2 inch thick on a plate and cut into inch by inch pieces after refrigeration.
Enjoy!
