　　Made of dried figs blended with coconut and a pop of cinnamon, pack these energy balls along for a post-workout snack or afternoon pick-me-up.

　　

Ingredients

10 servings

　　30 dried unsweetened Turkish figs (you can easily switch out the figs for dates for a variation)

　　2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, divided

　　1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

　　1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

　　Sea salt or pink Himalayan sea salt to taste

　　

Step 1

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

　　

Step 2

In a food processor or blender, place the figs, 1 1/2 cups coconut, coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt and blend until a smooth paste forms. It will have the consistency of brown sugar.

　　

Step 3

Form the dough into 1-inch balls, about 1 tablespoon of batter for each, and then roll the balls in the remaining shredded coconut.

　　

Step 4

Refrigerate for 30 minutes and serve.
