Összetevők és helyettesítések
All you need to make these delicious lemon bites are:
- kesudió – roasted or unroasted. This is up to you. Roasted cashews have more flavors and add a darker color to the balls.
- Kókusz nektár or maple syrup or any liquid sweetener you love, like sugar-free maple-flavored syrup for a low-carb option. I like coconut nectar with the lemon juice flavor, it tastes delicious, and coconut sugar has fewer carbs.
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut or unsweetened desiccated coconut.
- Citromlé
- Citromhéj – make sure you use organic, untreated lemons to avoid added chemicals in this raw dessert recipe.
- Seeds of Choice – totally optional, but this adds nutrients and crunchy texture. My favorite additions are hemp seeds or chia seeds to add healthy fats and fulfilling proteins and fiber.
How To Make Lemon Energy Balls (in Pictures)
You need a food processor to make these energy ball recipes.
Adjusting The Batter
The most common issue with energy balls recipes is the texture. Sometimes the batter is too wet – this happens mostly if you add too much liquid or the dry ingredients are not blended into a fine powder and can’t absorb the liquid evenly.
Or, the batter is dry and won’t stick together – it means that you miss some liquid in the recipe or the dry ingredients are too dry – like if you used defatted shredded coconut. Follow the tips below to adjust the batter.
- Dry batter – add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time, process on the high-speed setting to incorporate, and add more if needed.
- Wet batter – add more coconut, 2 tablespoons at a time. Process on the high-speed setting after each addition.

Could I use unsalted pistachios?
Probably, I haven’t tried swapping cashew nuts by pistachios but why not.
Hi!
Looks delish but all I have are salted macadamias, do you think they would work?
Thank you! I wouldn’t use salted nuts, the taste will be very salted for a sweet treat.
These taste really good and will make them again. Protein content lowers as you scroll down this recipe, from 4.0 grams in the title, to 3.6g in the first paragraph, down to 2.6g in the Nutrition Information at the bottom. Will have to research what it really is with the ingredients and # of balls.
Thanks for spotting the inconsistency, the nutrition panel under the recipe is correct, 2.6 g per bites if you make 18 using hemp seeds.
It would be much easyer for us oldies if we could just print the recipe not scam then print.
There’s a print button on the recipe card….. And the printable recipe is RIGHT THERE. No paywall. No email you have to enter. No personal data you have to share.
So no, there’s no “scam to print”……
Look delicious
Thank you ! let me know if you try.
Hello. I can’t get the dough to stick together to form the balls. I thought it was too dry first so I added more liquid. But it just doesn’t work. When I try to shape them in my hands they dissolve like sand. What should I do? Thanks.
The reason why it stick together is the maple syrup and high/fast processing of the coconut in the food processor. If it doesn’t work, you didn’t blend it fast or long enough, your coconut thread is too large or too dry, you added too much extra liquid and probably not maple syrup
What seed should I use and how much?
Kösz
The amount is in the recipe card, it says 2 tablespoons or hemp seeds, or chia seeds, or sunflower seeds.
I can’t wait to try this recipe! Do I have to soak the cashews first?
These were a delicious treat! thank you so much for the recipe! The only change was I used date syrup for the sweetener ,:) xx
Köszönjük!
No, you use the raw cashew, or roasted cashews.
can I use almond meal instead of cashews and what would the ratio be?
It will be very different, 1 cup of cashew doesn’t turn into 1 cup of cashew meal, it will be less. I didn’t measure, so I can’t tell exactly. I would use 1/2 cup almond flour, add more, adding tablespoons at a time, if the dough is too wet.
Could this be done with lines instead?
Igen, persze.
