Ingredients

1 cup Cashew

1 1/2 cup Shredded Coconut

3 tablespoons Coconut Nectar (or maple syrup, or sugar-free syrup)

1/4 cup Lemon Juice (half lemon)

2 tablespoons Lemon Zest

2 tablespoons Hemp Seeds (or chia seeds or sunflower seeds)

1/3 cup Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut

Directions

In a food processor, using the S blade attachment, add the cashews, unsweetened shredded coconut, and blend on high speed until pulse until a meal.

Add in maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest.

Blend again on the high-speed setting until it forms a sticky dough that comes together.

Stir in the seeds of choice and pulse to incorporate. If the dough is too wet, add more coconut, 2 tablespoons at a time, blend on the high-speed setting after adding. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, blend and repeat if needed.

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.
