These Key Lime Pie Energy Bites are a refreshing and nutritious no-bake snack made with raw cashews, Medjool dates, shredded coconut, and fresh lime zest and juice. Perfect for a quick energy boost, they blend sweet and tangy flavors inspired by the classic key lime pie dessert, while providing a healthy dose of natural ingredients and fiber.

Ingredients

Scale

Energy Bites

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup soft pitted Medjool dates (about 10 large dates)
  • ½ cup fine shredded unsweetened coconut
  • Zest from 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

For Rolling

  • ½ cup fine shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Add the raw cashews, soft pitted Medjool dates, ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut, lime zest, and fresh lime juice to a food processor. Pulse the mixture in short bursts until it is well combined, sticky, and holds together when pressed, creating a cohesive dough.
  2. Form the Bites: Using your hands, roll the mixture into approximately 14 evenly sized small balls, about 1 inch in diameter each, to ensure consistent portion sizes for snacking.
  3. Roll in Coconut: If desired, gently roll each ball in the remaining ½ cup of shredded coconut to coat the outside, adding texture and a visually appealing finish.
  4. Store: Place the coconut-coated energy bites into an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness or freeze them for up to 3 months for longer storage. Allow frozen bites to thaw slightly before eating.

Notes

  • You can substitute raw cashews with raw almonds or walnuts for a different flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of lime juice and zest to your taste preference for more or less tartness.
  • Ensure the dates are soft and fresh; if too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing.
  • These bites are naturally sweetened and free from added sugars, making them a healthy snack option.
  • Store energy bites in the freezer for longer preservation without loss of flavor or texture.
