Instructions
1. In a small bowl, stir together the coconut and 2 teaspoons lime zest.
2. Process pecans in a food processor until they are a flour like consistency.*
3. Add to the food processor the dates, lime juice, two tablespoons lime zest, and flaxseed. Blend until all ingredients come together in a thick paste.
4. Scoop out one tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball.
5. Roll ball in the coconut/lime zest mixture.
*Note: if you do not have a food processor, you can replace the 1 cup pecans with 1 cup almond flour. You can chop all other ingredients very small and mash together by hand.
