Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 lemons Lemon or Lime Juice Juice from about 2 lemons or 1 large lime.
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds Provides omega-3 fatty acids and helps bind the mixture.
  • 2 cups Gluten-Free Quick Oatmeal Acts as the main bulk ingredient, offering texture and fiber.
For Sweetness
  • 1/3 cup Raw Honey Sweetens the energy balls with natural sweetness.
For Coating
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Flaked Coconut Adds texture and extra sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup Extra Coconut for Rolling Used to coat the balls before serving.

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or food processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer or food processor, add the juice of about 2 lemons, chia seeds, gluten-free quick oatmeal, unsweetened flaked coconut, and raw honey. Blend these ingredients on medium speed until they combine into a sticky, cohesive mixture, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. After blending, let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid, causing the mixture to thicken.
  3. Once the mixture has thickened, wet your hands and take a tablespoon of the mixture. Roll it between your palms to create roughly 1-inch balls. Optionally coat lightly in extra flaked coconut.
  4. Place the formed Lemon Coconut Chia Balls on a platter and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. After chilling, they are ready to serve.
