Mini Coconut Lime Protein Pies

You. GUYS! I want to first let you know that these little gems are super easy to make. That is, and has always been, a deciding factor for me in deciding whether or not to make a recipe. Second, there are only 5 ingredients, all easy to find. Third, and the most important point being, they are delicious! Melt in your mouth, creamy, sweet, tangy, healthy little bites similar to crustless key lime pies. 

I really encourage you to try these!

Nicolette’s Tips

* For added sweetness, add 2 tablespoons of honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup.

* You can use almond butter or melted coconut butter in place of cashew butter.
