Pineapple, coconut and lime is the perfect summer flavour pairing! These moorish balls have just the right level of chew factor and sweetness from the pineapple. Just close your eyes, take a bite and imagine you are on a beautiful sandy beach looking out to sea…!
Not only will these balls provide you with a natural energy boost, but they are also easy to make and a great ‘grab and go’ snack option. The perfect portable snack for summer adventures. All you have to do is throw the ingredients in a food processor, blend, and roll into balls. We recommend making a batch at the beginning of the week and store in the fridge (lasts for up to 2 weeks). If you wanted to make an extra big batch they also freeze really well (lasts for up to 3 months).
Servings: Makes 8-10 balls
Time to create: 20 minutes
Ingredients
60g dried pineapple
30g desiccated coconut
120g dates
1 ½ tbsp coconut flour
60g almond butter
½ tsp lime zest
Juice from ½ a lime
Optional toppings: dark chocolate, desiccated coconut and lime zest.
Method:
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. You should be able to squeeze the mixture between two fingers and for it to hold together.
Roll the mixture into 8-10 evenly sized balls.
Option to added melted dark chocolate to the top and dust in desiccated coconut and a pinch of lime zest.
Top tips: If the dates are particularly dry soak in boiling water for 10 minutes to soften. Squeeze out the water before placing in the blender. Depending on the power/size of your blender you may need to blend in smaller batches.
