Choose a lime that's fully green; avoid limes with brown spots as they may yield bitter juice.

Zest the lime before cutting and juicing for easier zesting.

Add 1 cup of nuts (½ cup almonds and ½ cup pistachios), 1 cup of dates, ½ cup of coconut, 1½ tablespoons of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of lime zest to a food processor with a standard chopping blade.

Run the food processor for 3-4 minutes.

Initially, the mixture will look like a crumble; continue processing until it clumps and starts to move as one.

Once ready, roll the mixture into smooth balls.
