    Lemon Coconut Energy Balls

    Jul 14, 2016 • Follicular Phase, Ovulatory Phase, Quick & Easy, Snacks, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Lemon Coconut Energy Balls. VEGAN & GLUTEN FREE. Packed with superfoods like chia, hemp, maca and turmeric but tastes like lemon cookie dough. Amazing summer snack at the beach or on the go and takes 10 minutes to make. YUM! From The Glowing Fridge. #vegan #energy #balls #bites

    Beach Babe Bites!

    A cheeky summer snack for hot days at the beach or by the pool.

    Easy to travel with. Super lemon-y (all about lemon this summer). Naturally sweet. LOTS of coconut. Packed with healthy superfoods. 

    I don’t know of a better summer snack?

    Besides fresh watermelon, obviously, but you don’t have to worry about keeping these ‘Lemon Coconut Energy Balls’ cold because they won’t melt on you! They’re guilt-free, tart, energizing and pack some serious nutrients. And taste like lemony cookie dough?! YESS. You don’t have to bake them either, so no worries about turning on the oven when it’s 90 degrees out and you’re dripping sweat. Just whip them up in your food processor in less than 10 minutes.

    I love these beachy bites because they’re so easy for on-the-go and taste like fruity chewy heaven. 

    If you haven’t made energy balls before then you better start with this recipe because you’ll be an addict soon. They don’t have medjool dates either… which I usually see in every energy bite/ball recipe.

    Superfoods like maca, chia seeds, hemp hearts and turmeric will give you the healthy fuel you need for an afternoon pick-me-up or in addition to your morning green smoothie to keep you energized until lunch and beyond. All these superfoods provide essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, plant protein and omega’s!

    I’ve been wanting to share these little lemon coconut energy balls since January and I finally got around to testing them last week and sharing them with you today so they’ve been a long time coming but are amazing little nourishing bites.

      Hi – I LOVE lemon & I LOVE coconut, so super excited to try these. I already have ALL the ingredients at home EXCEPT hemp hearts. What can I use to replace this?

      Hello. I want to try these for my son but he is a Coeliac and not sure if he reacts to oats yet. Could I use quinoa flakes as a substitute? If so would I need to use more? Thanks

      Made these last week and they were SO good. They taste like little lemon poppyseed muffin bites. Best energy ball recipe I’ve tried so far! I don’t have a food processor so I just blended the dry ingredients in a blender and used a spoon to mix that with the wet ingredients in a bowl and it worked perfectly.

      Thanks for the recipe!

      These look so good! I’ve been in a “lemon mood” lately too–it’s just so summery! I’m definitely going to try these out later in the week…

      By the way, I’ve been lurking on your blog for the past month-ish and you and your recipes are so fantastic! I’m incredibly picky about salads/salad dressings and your recipes are the only ones that I actually continue to make almost every week. I actually made your Spring Weekend Power Salad with the tahini dressing today so I figured I should probably (finally) comment! 🙂

      Wow! These look amazing! Such a different take on energy balls! I used to not like the consistency of most energy balls, but for some reason they have completely grown on me and I love having them all the time! I’ll have to try this recipe! Lemon coconut is an amazing flavor combo!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
