Chocolate coconut energy balls

Coconut again... are you seeing a theme in my recipes? These energy balls are so good, packed full of nutrients, and so easy to make! It's the perfect post-work-out snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • 1 cup walnuts (see Note 1)

  • 12 pitted dates, chopped

  • 4 squares Lindt 90% dark chocolate, chopped

  • 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter

  • 1 tbsp cacao powder

  • 1/4 tsp coconut extract (optional)

  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut


Directions

1. In a food processor (or blender), blend walnuts, dates, and 1 tbsp coconut oil, together.

2. Add chocolate, peanut butter, cacao powder, coconut extract, and remaining tbsp of coconut oil, blend together until well combined.

3. On a large tray, place a baking sheet, roll the mixture into 6 balls.

4. Place shredded coconut on a plate, roll date balls with coconut until coated.

5. Cover and place in the freezer for 2-3 hours, then place in the fridge to eat.


-- Notes --

  • Note 1: You can add any kind of nuts to this - I even added a few almond and pecans.
