Ingredients
- 3/4 cup raw almonds

- Zest + juice from three organic lemons
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 ½ cups Medjool dates, pitted

- 1/4 cup of unsweetened finely shredded coconut
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients listed above.
-
Combine Nuts and Seeds: Place the raw almonds and pumpkin seeds into your Vitamix or high-powered blender. Pulse until finely chopped, but be cautious not to over-blend, as we want to maintain some texture.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: To the blender, add the Chia seeds, pitted Medjool dates, pinch of Himalayan pink salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
-
Blend Until Formed: Blend the mixture until it starts to come together into a sticky dough-like consistency.
-
Form the Bites: Transfer the mixture onto a plate and shape it into a square. Use a knife to score 12 even pieces, then roll each piece into a ball between your palms.
-
Coat with Coconut: Roll each ball into the unsweetened finely shredded coconut until evenly coated, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Chill and Enjoy: Store the Lemon Chia Energy Bites in the freezer or refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they’re ready to enjoy!
