Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted dates
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut flakes, plus extra for rolling
• ½ cup macadamia nuts or cashews
• ¼ cup hemp seeds
• 2 tablespoons white chia seeds (black chia are okay, too)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cashew butter
• Zest and juice of 2 limes
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon spirulina or chlorella powder (optional)
• ½ teaspoon maca powder (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and pulse until the mixture is evenly chopped and beginning to stick together and form a ball. Transfer the “dough” to a medium bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Using a small ice cream scoop, or about ½ tablespoon measure, portion the dough into balls. Roll each ball with your hands to make it smooth.
3. Sprinkle shredded coconut or coconut flakes onto a plate and roll the balls in it to lightly coat. Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 1 month.
