Cashew Orange Date Balls

by Alissa Segersten, Cookbook Author and Food Blogger

bowl filled with cashew orange date balls that are rolled in shredded coconut

If you are in the mood for a sweet snack, this recipe can be whipped up within 10 minutes! I like to have a container of some sort of nut-date ball in the refrigerator for my children to pack in their school lunches. One ball serves as a sweet treat and also a good dose of protein and healthy fat.

Cashew Orange Date Balls

Yield: 1 dozen balls
vegan • gluten-free • no refined sugar

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
  • 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, softened
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • pinch sea salt
  • unsweetened shredded coconut
METHOD
  1. Place the cashews into a food processor fitted with the “s” blade. Process until very finely ground, then add the dates, melted coconut oil, orange zest, and salt. Process again until the dates are very finely ground and the mixture begins to form a ball.
  2. Take small handfuls of the cashew-date mixture and form small balls. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut. Transfer to a glass storage container and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Grow and Forage Medicinal Herbs

Many medicinal herbs are easy to grow and do not require a lot of space to produce a decent harvest. Additionally, many common “weeds” have medicinal properties.
