In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave cashew butter for 30-60 seconds until warm and soft.
Add honey to the bowl and mix to combine.
Add the remaining ingredients (¼ cup of the shredded coconut, and all of the whey protein powder, old-fashioned oats, and dried mango) and mix until thoroughly combined. (You should be able to squish the mixture into a ball at this point. If it's too crumbly, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.)
Use a cookie scoop (or clean hands) to form your protein balls. Stuff the cookie scooper and press the mixture in to make it as compact as possible. Using clean hands, roll the scoop into a round ball. (If the mixture is sticking to your hands or crumbly, wet your hands and add a sprinkling of water to each ball.)
Roll each ball in the remaining shredded coconut, then enjoy or store in an airtight container in the fridge for later.
