Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 ½ cup shredded coconut or coconut flakes
- 3 tablespoons honey sub maple syrup for vegan
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- optional: 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor.
- Process until mostly smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more honey. If it seems too thick, you can thin it out slightly with 1-2 teaspoons of non-dairy milk.
- Pulse in the poppy seeds if using.
- Scoop out 1 tbsp of dough and roll into about 1 inch balls. I like to use the smaller of these cookie scoops to form the dough into even sized balls.
- Carefully roll into shredded coconut if desired.
- Place in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.
- Enjoy!
