Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of choice)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, or walnuts) for added crunch (optional)

Additional shredded coconut for rolling (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, sea salt, and any chopped nuts if using. Mix until evenly distributed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or your hands until everything is well incorporated and the mixture is sticky. If you find the mixture too dry, add a splash more lemon juice or almond butter.

        Form the Balls: Using your hands, roll small portions (about 1 inch in diameter) of the mixture into balls. If desired, roll the balls in additional shredded coconut for a nice coating.

          Chill: Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, enjoy them as a quick snack, breakfast on-the-go, or an energizing post-workout treat! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
