Description

Ingredients

• 8 Medjool dates, pitted (I love Natural Delights)
• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
• Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup coconut flour
• 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder (I used Vega Vanilla Protein + Greens, see Shop page)
• Pinch of salt
• 1-2 tbsp almond milk, if needed
• Unsweetened shredded coconut, for rolling

Directions

• Place dates, applesauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla in a large food processor. Process until dates look nearly pureed and mixture is very-well combined.
• Add coconut flour, protein powder, and salt. Process until mixture forms a smooth ball of dough. (If mixture looks too dry, add almond milk.)
• Roll into 12 balls.
• Place about ½ cup coconut in a small bowl and roll balls in coconut, if desired. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
