Lemon and coconut have got to be individually two of my favourite ingredients…but together they make something very special! The combination is tangy and sweet, chewy and fruity all in one. These little balls are the perfect pick-me-up when you’re craving a sweet treat and are completely guilt-free, made with only nutritious and healthy ingredients. I love them for after dinner with a cup of green tea!

I made them for an event I catered last week and heard they went down rather well so I have ultimate confidence in the deliciousness of these raw health balls! Plus there’s only a few ingredients and they are very quick to make so win win! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
