TIPS

• Use Fine Coconut: Finely shredded coconut creates a smoother texture and helps the mixture bind.

• Adjust Lime To Taste: Add more or less lime juice depending on your preferred level of tartness.

• Stickier Is Better: If the mixture is too dry, add a touch more maple syrup or a drop of almond milk.

• Roll In Coconut: For extra texture and visual appeal, roll finished balls in extra coconut flakes.

• Batch Make: Double or triple the recipe for ready-to-go snacks all week.

VARIATIONS

• Add Zest: Mix in lime zest for a more potent citrus punch.

• Include Nuts: Add crushed cashews or macadamias for a crunchier texture.

• Boost Protein: Blend in a teaspoon of vegan protein powder or ground chia seeds.

• Spice It Up: A pinch of ginger or cardamom gives a warming note to contrast the lime.

• Chocolate Drizzle: Top with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate for a tropical dessert twist.
