Meal plan MONDAY! Key Lime & Amaretto Fudge Truffles!!!!

Key Lime Truffles

Makes 16-18 (2 are a serving)

Ingredients:
1 Cup of Cashews
1/2 Cup of Pitted Dates
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
¼ Cup Unsweetened Coconut
¼ Cup Ground Flax (optional)
Juice of 1 Lime
Zest of 1 Lime
¼ Cup Water

Directions:
Add your cashews to your food processor and blend until it is flour.
Add your unsweetened coconut and ground flax and pulse until blended.
Add the vanilla extract, lime juice, lime zest, dates, and water. Blend until dough texture.
Remove the dough from the food processor and place in a bowl. Begin rolling protein balls into 1 inch balls.
Roll protein balls in coconut until completely covered (I prefer to toast the coconut)
Place balls on a plate or in a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Enjoy!

*Special Note – These tend to be quite sticky. Placing these in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before rolling will help. I like to use two metal spoons to do my rolling.
