Instructions
-
Mix it all up:In a bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If it's too wet, add a bit more almond flour. If too dry, add a touch more lemon juice.
-
Form into bites:Roll into small balls (about 1 inch in size).
-
Chill:Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
-
Store:Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or freeze for longer storage).
Notes
- Optional: poppy seeds, turmeric, or maca powder for an extra boost!
- Add a pinch of turmeric (for anti-inflammatory benefits) or maca powder (for energy and hormone support).
- A few drops of lemon extract will really brighten the citrus flavor if your lemons aren’t super zesty.
- Roll finished bites in shredded coconut or crushed almonds for a decorative finish.
- Serve chilled—they hold together better and the flavors pop more.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for 1–2 months.
