Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the mango to your food processor and pulse for 10 seconds.
  • Then, add the dates, coconut oil, 2 tablespoons shredded coconut, and vanilla and pulse until the mixture comes together, 30-60 seconds.
  • Pour the remaining shredded coconut onto a plate.
  • Use your hands to roll the mixture into balls, then roll the balls into the shredded coconut. Place the balls in a sealed container and store them at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are for 1 mango ball and are an estimation
*The amount of bites you have in the end will vary depending on their size. It could range anywhere from 12-20.
*Ideally, you want the coconut oil to be at room temperature (slightly softened, similar to softened butter). However, if you're making these on a very hot day, the oil will probably be melted already, and that's ok! The final result will just be a little more oil-y in texture but will still taste exactly the same.
