Cashew Coconut Energy Bites
Prep Time
Total Time
Author: Talia
Yield: 25-30 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ¾ cup cashews (I prefer roasted and lightly salted)
- 10-12 dates, soaked for 10 min in hot water
- ¼ cup cashew butter
- 1-2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- splash of vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Toss all ingredients in a food processor and blend for 3-5 minutes until mixture is thoroughly combined. The cashews and dates should be coarsely chopped, and the mixture will be slightly wet to touch. Add more (non-dairy) milk by the teaspoon as needed if the dough isn't holding together.
- Form into (roughly) tablespoon-sized balls.
- Keep in the fridge for up to a week or store in the freezer for up to a few months (if they last that long!).
Notes / Variations
You can purchase all of these ingredients at Trader Joe's. In fact, I swear by their cashew butter for all my recipes!
For some added sweetness, throw in a handful of cacao nibs or chocolate chips during the last 30 seconds of blending. Sometimes I like to sneak in a scoop of collagen powder (Vital Proteins, always) for an added beauty bonus.
You can make your energy bites into different sizes -- smaller, teaspoon-sized ones for when you just need a small taste or larger, tablespoon-sized (or larger!) for when you need a little more to hold you over.
