Here is another one of those ‘bet you can’t eat just one’ treats!

When you are on the go, powering through work, or finishing up a workout, it can be hard to find a snack that’s healthy, filling, and actually tastes good.

That’s where Lemon Coconut Protein Power Balls come in. These no-bake treats are a zesty, chewy, naturally sweetened option made with clean ingredients for a healthy, delicious and nutritious snack.

The combination of lemon and coconut is always a match made in heaven!

They are not just quick to make – they are packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats that help fuel your body. With a punch of lemon and the smooth richness of coconut, they are one of the easiest ways to satisfy hunger without guilt.

That buttery crust and tangy filling of a lemon bar can be so addicting…

But the high amounts of butter, sugar eggs, flour,  sugar laden condensed milk used in a traditional recipe for these citrus-infused treats does not play along nicely with a healthy eating plan.

Good thing that my favourite thing to do is take an old fashioned ‘not-so-healthy’ recipe and healthify it – turning it into a healthier alternative.

If you are looking for the ultimate lemon ball recipe, then look no further. I promise you these are the best damn lemon balls you will ever taste. Bold claim I know!

But these balls are truly a minimum fuss dessert. They hit at only 7 ingredients! And for how easy they are, the flavour and richness are wild. So, SO good. I have the balls in a container in the freezer, and I just set one (or two) out to thaw a bit while we are cleaning up after dinner. Perfect sweet relief at the end of a busy day.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemon bars. It’s just what we do.

These Lemon Coconut Protein Power Balls are simply the BEST! I am quite certain this will be my new go-to item for pot lucks or family gatherings. I hope you like them half as much as my husband does; he may or may not have eaten half a pan of them over the past 24 hours.

Because these lemon balls are crazy amazing you can feel good about eating one or two of them, even for breakfast and not feel one piece of guilt about it!

Whether you are looking for meal prep snacks, post-workout fuel, or a lunchbox addition, this recipe fits the bill.
