A tangy, sweet, sour, tropical-tasting bite of heaven, these bites combine Medjool dates, key lime juice and zest, and the buttery deliciousness of macadamia nuts to create a perfectly portable, high-energy snack for your 3pm slump!

5-Ingredient Key Lime Macadamia Bites
Servings: 12 bites
Ingredients
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates around 12
  • ½ cup macadamia nuts
  • 2 T key lime juice
  • 1 T key lime zest
  • Big pinch of salt
  • 1 cup coconut to roll the bites in – I toasted mine but that’s optional.
Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine all the above ingredients except for the coconut. Blend until combined.
  2. You can chill the mixture for an hour, which makes it easier to roll, or, do it immediately. It will stick to your hands a bit, but it’s totally fine and doable. Form into 12 bites.
  3. Roll the bites in coconut. YUM.
