    We love snacks in our house! We also love anything coconut, so you can always find these Healthy Coconut Balls in our fridge. I use to buy Larabars for snacks and got tired of spending almost $2.00 a bar, that adds up! Making these coconut bites takes no time and is so easy. Sometimes I even roll them in melted chocolate to make chocolate coconut balls, which are amazing! If you're a chocolate fan then you should totally check out these Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls.

    Ingredients

    a bag of pitted dates, a jar of coconut oil, a bowl of unsweetened shaved coconut, and a bowl of cashews and almonds

    Substitutions

    Cashews/Almonds- I haven't tried substituting these for different nuts but it would probably work with any nuts you have.

    Unsweetened shaved coconut- You can use sweetened shaved coconut but that would make these not Whole30 or Paleo.

    Step by step

    a food processor filled with pitted dates, shredded coconut, cashews, almonds, and coconut oil
    a food processor filled with healthy coconut ball mixture
    1. Add all the ingredients to a high powered food processor
    2. Blend on high for about 5 minutes until the ingredients start to form together
    3. Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls

    Storing

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days.

    Not only are these date coconut balls naturally sweet and a great way to get some healthy fats, but they are also vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly. Whether you need a midday snack or a healthy snack option, these little bites are a great option that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.

    Many energy bites you find at your local grocery store are filled with added sugar, mostly from refined sugar and not natural sweeteners. These coconut date energy balls have a natural sweetness which makes them perfect for a delicious snack and sweet treat all in one.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed to make coconut date balls.

    Substitutions

    Cashews and almonds- I prefer to use mostly cashews because it gives these bites a nice nutty flavor but you can use whatever nuts or seeds you have on hand. Pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and pistachios would all work great in this easy recipe.

    Step by step
