Coconut Cashew Energy Bites - No Bake! 3 ingredients!!!

Lately I have become more & more drawn to my kitchen & probably spend 1+ hrs in it a day & have been loving it! I have been exploring recipes & just having fun with my whole ingredients. So, today, being the totally cashew nut that I am, FINALLY decided to do something with CASHEWS!!!

This recipe is super fun, easy, no bake & only has three...yes THREE simple ingredients!!!



So, please forgive me...I forgot to add the 3rd ingredient in the shot, but with all honesty, the 3rd ingredient was kinda of an afterthought! lol. Sorry unsweetened shredded coconut...I cannot tell a lie! 

Coconut Cashew Energy Bites

2 c pitted dates
2 1/2 c cashews
1/2 c shredded unsweetened coconut

Put them in a food processor (I used my Ninja!) & I think I blended mine for about 30 secs, scraped off the edges & did another 30 secs. Then I dumped them in bowl & rolled them into two bite balls! Easy peasy!!!!



OMG! They are just so yummy & this consistency is PERFECT for the balls to form neatly!!!

This recipe made 24 balls & below is the info based on 1 ball!
