Tips For The Best Lemon Coconut Bites

• Use soft Medjool dates. Fresh, soft dates blend much more easily and help bind the mixture together. If your dates feel dry, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes before blending.
• Don’t over-process. Blend the mixture until it holds together but still has a little texture. This will give your bites the best consistency.
• Chill before serving. These bites become firmer and even more flavorful after spending about an hour in the refrigerator.

Recipe Variations

Add vanilla: Blend in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a slightly sweeter flavor.

Boost the protein: Add your favorite vanilla protein powder. You may need an extra tablespoon or two of lemon juice if the mixture becomes too dry.

Make them extra lemony: Mix in a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest for even more bright citrus flavor.

Roll them in toppings:

Instead of plain shredded coconut, try rolling the bites in:

• Finely chopped macadamia nuts
• Toasted coconut
• Hemp hearts
• Chia seeds
• Lemon zest mixed with coconut

Storage

Store the bites in an airtight container or gallon-sized zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to one week.

For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. Simply thaw for a few minutes before eating.
