Ingredients for Mango Energy Bites

Naturally sweet no bake mango energy bites coated in coconut flakes

Place the dried mango in a heat safe bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 10 minutes, then drain well.

Add the cashews, salt, and lemon zest to a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.

Add the soaked mango, dates, and coconut flakes. Process until the mixture forms a sticky paste.

If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more coconut. If it seems too dry, add one or two additional dates.

Transfer the mixture to a parchment paper lined baking sheet or dish. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll the mixture into an even layer.

Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle with the remaining coconut flakes. Gently roll again to press the coconut into the surface.

Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.

Slice into squares or bites and enjoy.

Store Mango Energy Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

For longer storage, keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months and thaw as needed.

These bites are perfect for meal prep and make an easy grab and go snack for busy days.

Dried mango and dates provide natural sweetness along with fibre, helping create a satisfying snack without relying on refined sugars.

Cashews contribute healthy fats and plant based nutrients that can help support satiety and sustained energy.

Choosing snacks made with minimally processed ingredients can help support balanced eating habits and provide convenient nourishment throughout the day.
