Course Dessert, Snack

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews, soaked 3+ hours and drained
  • 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2-3 lemons, juice and zest (depending on how lemon-ey you prefer)
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds - or chia or sunflower seeds

To Coat The Energy Balls

  • 1/3 cup desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Place the cashews and coconut into a food processor and process until broken down and crumbly. Add in honey, lemon juice and zest and pulse until well combined. Add seeds of choice and pulse again to incorporate.
    Be careful not to over process as its nice to have different sized ‘bits’ in your energy bites.
    Scoop out one tablespoon of batter, roll into balls between your hands, then roll into the desiccated coconut to coat.
    Store the balls on a plate covered with parchment while you roll the remaining batter into energy balls.
    Store energy balls in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
    Store in the freezer for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature.
