Can I make Lemon Bliss Balls without a food processor?

Yes, you can! Just use finely ground almond flour and mix all ingredients well in a bowl. It may take a bit more effort to thoroughly combine, but it works.

Is there a way to reduce the sugar content?

Absolutely. Use less honey or agave, or opt for a sugar-free syrup. The natural sweetness of coconut and almond makes them tasty even with reduced sweetener.

Can I use a different type of flour?

You can try oat flour or cashew flour if you don’t have almond flour. Each brings a slightly different texture, but the recipe is forgiving.

Do Lemon Bliss Balls taste strongly of coconut?

The coconut flavor is present but balanced by the zing of lemon and honey. If you’re a coconut skeptic, using more almond flour and less coconut, or rolling in finely ground nuts instead of shredded coconut, will tone it down.

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add almond flour, shredded coconut, salt, turmeric (if using), honey (or agave), lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky dough that sticks together when pressed.
Form Balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and use your hands to roll into even-sized balls. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Coat with Coconut: If desired, roll each ball in a plate of additional shredded coconut until evenly coated for a pretty and tasty finish.
Chill: Arrange the balls on a plate or tray and place them in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up. This helps them hold their shape and develop their flavor.
Store: Once chilled, transfer the Lemon Bliss Balls to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated until ready to enjoy. They will stay fresh for up to a week.

Notes

Use agave instead of honey for a fully vegan version.
The turmeric adds color and is optional; feel free to omit if preferred.
For a tangier flavor, add extra lemon zest.
Chilling helps the balls retain their shape and improves texture.
Great for meal prep and easy snacking throughout the week.
