Makes: 14 bites

Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds*

• 1/4 cup cacao powder

• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, divided

• 1 cup pitted dates, soaked and drained

• 1.5 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

Instructions

1. Soak dates in water for 30-60 minutes.

2. Combine the almonds, cacao powder and 1/4 cup of the shredded coconut together in a food processor. Process into a fine powder.

3. Add the soaked dates and coconut oil, and blend until the mixture is well-combined and incorporated into a thick batter.

4. Roll the batter into small bite-sized balls, just smaller than a golf ball. Then roll each ball through a bowl with the remaining coconut flakes to coat.

5. Refrigerate and enjoy!

*Try swapping out all or part of the almonds for walnuts to up your omega-3's!
