These Lemon Coconut Energy Balls are made with simple, wholesome ingredients that are packed with nutrients. They’re a great source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

Lemon and coconut are a match made in heaven, and these energy balls perfectly capture the tart and sweet flavors of these two ingredients. The lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy note, while the coconut flakes give them a tropical twist.

These energy balls are also incredibly easy to make and are perfect for on-the-go snacks, pre-workout fuel, or, as a healthy dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup almond flour
zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsps lemon juice
2 tbsps date syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
extra shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions

In a food processor, blend the pitted dates until they form a sticky paste.
Add the shredded coconut, almond flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, date syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls using your hands.
If desired, roll the balls in shredded coconut to coat the exterior.
Place the balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
