Zesty Lemon Coconut Bliss Balls

ree

These Zesty Lemon Coconut Bliss Balls are the perfect bite-sized treat for when you’re craving something sweet yet wholesome. They’re light, tangy, and naturally sweetened with dates — no refined sugar, no baking, and ready in minutes!


Why would you buy snacks when you can make these ?


Each bite bursts with fresh lemon flavor, soft coconut texture, and a hint of nuttiness from the almond flour. Roll them in crushed almonds for a crunchy finish or poppy seeds for a little extra zing.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour or coconut flour, or a combination of both

  • Juice of 2 lemons, zest of one

  • 5 Medjool dates, pitted


Optional coatings:

  • 2 tbsp crushed almonds

  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds


Instructions

  1. Blend: Add the coconut flour, almond flour, lemon juice and zest, and dates to a food processor. Blend until the mixture comes together into a soft, slightly sticky dough.

  2. Shape: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each.

  3. Coat: Roll half the balls in crushed almonds for crunch, and the rest in poppy seeds for a smooth, speckled look.

  4. Chill (optional): For a firmer texture, refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving.


Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week — or freeze for up to a month for a quick grab-and-go snack.

Tip

If your mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of warm water or a little extra lemon juice until it binds easily.


If you want them sweeter, add a little honey or maple syrup.
