Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Medjool dates, pits removed (about 16 medjool dates)
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut (shredded or flakes)

Zest of 1 lime

Instructions

Place dates, coconut, pumpkin seeds, lime zest, and vanilla in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal S blade.
Pulse or mix until the mixture has no large chunks and sticks together when pinched, adding lime juice 1 tsp. at a time until the mixture starts to come together. If your mixture is a little dry, add 1 tsp of lime juice at a time as needed to help everything come together.
Roll into small bite-sized balls. Dip in additional dried coconut if desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

Notes

If you’re doing a Whole30, you may choose to omit the vanilla extract. You can substitute a small amount of vanilla powder or vanilla bean if desired, but they’ll still taste delicious without it!
