- 1 cup Shredded Coconut
- 2 cups Soft Medjool Dates, pitted

In a large food processor fitted with an “S” blade, process the almonds and coconut until crumbly.
Add in the dates, coconut oil, vanilla and sea salt and process again until a sticky, uniform batter is formed.
Scoop into tablespoons and roll between fingers into balls.
