Paleo Coconut Date Balls
Quick, no-bake vegan energy balls made with coconut, dates, and nuts. Soft, chewy, satisfying—like a spa day for your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut plus extra for rolling
- ½ cup raw almonds or cashews
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Toss dates and nuts into the food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and slightly sticky, like your ex’s DMs.
- Add coconut, oil, vanilla, and salt. Blend until combined. It should clump like your laundry pile.
- Scoop out mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Channel your inner pastry chef—or your inner toddler.
- Roll each ball in extra coconut. Make it snow, girl.
- Chill for 10 minutes or eat immediately. We don’t judge impatience here.
