Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of your 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 (such as almonds, cashews, or walnuts) for added crunch (optional)

Additional shredded coconut for rolling (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, and sea salt. If you're choosing to include chopped nuts, add them in now. Mix all the dry ingredients until evenly distributed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add the almond butter (or nut/seed butter of your choice), honey (or maple syrup), fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture becomes sticky. If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash more lemon juice or a small amount of almond butter until the desired texture is achieved.

        Form the Balls: Take small portions of the mixture (approximately 1 inch in diameter) and roll them between your palms to form into balls. If you desire extra texture and flavor, roll the formed balls in additional shredded coconut for an appealing coating.

          Chill: Arrange the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate, ensuring they are spaced apart. Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the bites to chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and become easier to handle.

            Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, these delightful bites are ready to be enjoyed! They make for a fantastic quick snack, a convenient breakfast on-the-go, or a revitalizing post-workout treat. To store any leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
