Energy balls are the to-go snack to have at hands anytime of the day. Enjoy this delicious and fresh version with lemon and coconut!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (60g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) agave or maple syrup
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Extra coconut and lemon zests for rolling in

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, blend all the dry ingredients (oats, shredded coconut, chia, salt) until well combined and oats are chopped up.
  2. Add in the wet ingredients and pulse until it forms into a sticky dough.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from the refrigerator and roll into 8 balls with your hands.
  5. Roll in extra lemon zests and shredded coconut.
  6. Store in a airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

I often double the proportions, to have enough energy balls for the entire week. You can also freeze some, and simply leave them out of the fridge for 10-15 minutes before eating them.
