The first thing you'll need to do is soak your dates in hot tap water for about 20 minutes. This will soften them up and allow you to blend them together easier.
PRO TIP: go ahead and buy the pitted dates. Save yourself the time of taking out those dang pits.
Once your dates are done soaking, add them into your food processor with the raw almond butter. I used the chop function primarily to mix up the dates and almond butter. Consistency should be crumbly.
Next you will add in your protein powder, coconut oil and vanilla. Blend together until the 'dough' starts to blend together. This is where your 1/2 cup of water will come in handy. Add it in as needed to blend up all the ingredients into dough-like consistency.
Next, add in all your lemon zest, blueberries and half the cup of shredded coconut and blend together. Add in a little bit of water as needed to get all the ingredients mixed together. Then pop this into the fridge for 10 minutes before forming into the bites.
Final step is to line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then sprinkle the rest of the shredded coconut flakes on the baking sheet. Then, use a spoon to create balls from the dough and then roll them lightly in the shredded coconut flakes.
Store your bites in the fridge to help them hold their shape and not stick together! Enjoy!
