These fruit and nut balls make for a perfect [simple] sunny snack. The lemon adds detoxifying properties to help your body transition to a lighter, more cleansing diet, just in time for spring!
In a food processor, chop cashews until they’re the size of the eraser end of a pencil. Remove from food processor bowl and set aside.
Place remaining ingredients in the food processor and combine until dates are fully mashed [you’ll know when it’s ready when the dates clump together in one large ball]
Add cashews back in and pulse quickly, just until incorporated.
Grab a scoop at a time [about a tablespoon size or a bit bigger] and roll into balls. Place completed balls on a freezer safe plate. Repeat with remaining dough.
Place balls in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, remove and enjoy!
Notes
I like to keep them in the freezer for quick access. I prefer them cold but they’re just as tasty at room temperature and will hold their form well.
