Coconut Lemon Energy Balls Recipe

Iris Warren

Report

These lemon balls are a burst of sunshine in every bite! Crafted from raw cashews, coconut, and lemon zest and juice, they're a delicious pick-me-up that will brighten your day. The zesty tartness of lemon takes center stage, balanced by the naturally sweet and creamy undertone of coconut. These no-bake coconut energy balls are also super easy to roll together!

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to your food processor and pulse until combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
Roll into 24 balls. Either sprinkle or roll the balls in shredded coconut or poppy seeds. Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 1 week.

Notes

Note: prep time does not include the hour it takes to refrigerate the balls.
Ground turmeric is what gives these lemon balls their bright yellow color. Don't worry, you don't taste it at all as turmeric is neutral-tasting unless it is cooked. We use the same trick in our coconut lemon ice cream recipe!
