Key Lime Energy Balls

Key Lime Energy Balls combine almonds, cashews, unsweetened coconut flakes, and Medjool dates for a naturally sweet base with a bright lime twist from zest and juice. The bite-sized balls offer a chewy, nutty texture with a subtle citrus freshness, making them convenient snacks or light energy boosts. Coconut oil binds and enriches the flavor profile without overpowering the lime notes.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup almonds
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes unsweetened
  • 1 cup Medjool dates about 10, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • lime zest from one
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Process nuts: Place almonds, cashews and coconut into food processor fitted with the S-blade and pulse until everything is chopped into small pieces. Place nut mixture in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Process dates: Put dates into the food processor and pulse until a paste forms. The dates will probably form into a sticky ball. If they do, break about the ball a bit with your hands.
  3. Add nuts and coconut back into the processor with the dates and pulse until well combined.
  4. Add coconut oil, lime juice, lime zest and salt. Pulse a few more times, until they’re just incorporated.
  5. Form balls: Once mixture is combined, use your hands to form the dough into balls, using about 1 Tablespoon of dough for each ball. Enjoy right away or store for later.
  6. To store: Store any leftovers in the fridge with parchment paper between them for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
