Coconut Date Balls

You should know that I consider my three boys my guinea pigs, and pretty much everything I put in this blog, they have tasted and tested. They give very honest reviews and feedback ... sometimes a bit too honest. This one, though, has been a hit since the first time I made it. Great for the lunchbox, great for a welcome home snack. The coconut and almonds give it staying power in tummies, and the dates just make it all taste good. A good for you snack that takes less than 30 minutes to finish? That's a keeper, I promise. You can sub in other nuts if you'd rather.


Coconut Date Balls


Makes 1 - 2 dozen balls, depending on how large you make them


Ingredients

2 cups pitted dates

3-5 Tablespoon water

1 cup coconut flakes, toasted

½ cup coconut flakes, untoasted

1 cup slivered almonds, toasted


Directions

Line a sheet or plate with parchment or foil. Set aside. Put untoasted coconut in a small bowl. Set aside. Place dates in bowl, and smoosh dates pieces against side of bowl until smooth, adding 1 T of water at a time as needed. Add toasted coconut and almonds and mix well. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls and roll in coconut flakes. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate/freeze for later.

Take good tuna (the actual good kind, packed in olive oil) and quality beans (yes, you can used canned, but consider making from scratch). Add some light dressing (NOT mayo) and lemon zest ... voila!
