How to make Coconut-lime energy bites

1. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is evenly chopped and begins to stick together, forming a ball.  Chill the “dough” in a medium bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. Use a small ice cream scoop or a ½ tablespoon measure to portion the chilled dough into balls.  Roll each ball between your hands to make it smooth.

3. Sprinkle shredded coconut or coconut flakes onto a plate and roll the balls in it to lightly coat.

4. Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
