Equipment
Ingredients
- 10-12 medjool dates
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- Pinch sea salt
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Pit the medjool dates and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes until they soften
- Place the pitted dates and pecans in the bowl of a large food processor. Blend on high until a thick “dough” is formed and the mixture feels sticky.
- Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and use your hands to roll it into a ball. If you have time you can let them set in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Roll the energy bites into desiccated or shredded coconut pressing gently so they adhere. Makes about 12-14 bites.

Notes
My Top Tip: Wet your hands before rolling. The mixture sticks to dry palms quickly. Just run your hands under water, shake them off, and roll. It makes the whole process much easier.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 10-14 days in the fridge.
Freezing: After rolling the balls, freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer safe container or bag. You then simply need to thaw them in the fridge overnight.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However, feel free to play around with the ingredients and customize to your liking.
