Zesty Lemon Energy Bites

Ingredients

Blend the nuts :
Add almonds and cashews to a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse several times until they reach a coarse, sandy consistency. Avoid over-blending so they don’t become flour or butter.
Add the remaining ingredients :
Add dates, lemon juice, vanilla, zest, and hemp seeds. Process until the mixture forms a sticky, even dough. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed for thorough mixing.
Roll into bites :
Use a tablespoon or small scoop to portion the dough. Roll between your palms to create smooth balls. If desired, roll each bite in shredded coconut for added texture.
