Creating Lemon Energy Balls is simple. Follow these easy steps to make your own batch:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all your ingredients and cooking tools for an efficient process.
2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until well blended.
3. Add Lemon Flavor: Incorporate the lemon zest and lemon juice into the mixture. Ensure they are evenly distributed for that tangy flavor.
4. Add Coconut and Seeds: Fold in the shredded coconut, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. If you’re using poppy seeds, add them now as well.
5. Form the Balls: With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
6. Chill the Energy Balls (optional): Place the formed balls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and enhances the flavors.
7. Store: Keep any leftover energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

These steps will guide you in creating Lemon Energy Balls that are both nutritious and satisfying.
