06 - Roll each bite in shredded coconut for added texture and visual appeal, if desired.

01 -

They satisfy that dessert craving while actually giving your body something it can use
You can prep them in fifteen minutes and grab them all week when life gets chaotic

02 -

If your mixture is too soft to roll even after chilling try adding another tablespoon of almond flour
These taste better after they have been chilled for a few hours so do not rush that step

03 -

Wet your hands slightly before rolling to keep the mixture from sticking to your palms
Double the batch now because you will regret it when they are gone in two days
