Lemon Turmeric Balls: A Bright and Energizing Snack

 Lemon Turmeric Balls are zesty, naturally sweet, and nutrient-dense snacks ideal for boosting your energy throughout the day. Made with whole foods like dates, oats, almonds, and chia seeds, these no-bake bites are flavored with lemon and turmeric for an anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting treat that’s both satisfying and refreshing.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted and soaked in hot water

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

  • ½ cup almonds

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

  • Pinch of black pepper

  • ½ cup shredded coconut (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Remove the pits from the dates and soak them in hot water for several minutes. Once softened, drain and place them in a food processor. Reserve the soaking water.

  2. Add the other ingredients (except the shredded coconut) to the food processor and blend until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of the reserved date-soaking water.

  3. Scoop the mixture using a small spoon and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut and place them on a baking sheet.

  4. Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
