Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup cashews
  • 1 cup kale, packed
  • 8 dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup collagen peptides
  • 1 tbsp local honey more if you prefer sweeter
  • cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes plus more for rolling
  • 1-2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • juice from two limes
  • zest from one lime

Equipment

  • Food processor

Method
 

  1. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Pour a small amount (you should only need 1/3 cup or so) of coconut flakes into a shallow bowl.
  2. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined. If your mixture seems too dry, add more coconut oil one teaspoon at a time until you reach a consistency that you can easily form and roll into 1.5" diameter balls.
  3. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut and place in a single layer on the sheet pan. Refrigerate for two hours until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
