So, this energy ball/bar has a nice flavor profile that is different from most of those I've seen out there. The lemon is what makes it work. This is based on a recipe from a book called: Clean Eats by Alejandro Junger, MD.
Cashew and Lemon energy ball
- 4 cups raw cashews
- 1/4 cup pitted dates, soft
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (more or less to your taste)
- 1/4 cup coconut (flakes or shredded) not sweetened
- sea salt - pinch
In a food processor, blend all the ingredients until nuts and dates are finely ground. If mixture isn't holding a ball shape (or bar shape), mix in a bit more coconut oil. It maybe a bit sticky. Place into the fridge and they will hold their shape nicely.
