 Makes 18 small balls

What you'll need:

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 ½ cup almond flour (blanched)

 Preparation:

1.  Add all ingredients to a food processor and process until everything is well combined.

2.  Take a spoonful at a time and roll them into the palms of your hands into a ball shape. We measured heaping teaspoons, but you can make them as big or as little as you want.

3.  Leave them plain, or roll the balls in shredded coconut or lemon or lime zest.

4.  Arrange the balls on a parchment lined pan and refrigerate 15-30 minutes until firm.

5.  Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. 

6.  When packing lunch, we suggest packing with a ColdKit.
