Creamy Lemon Coconut Bliss Balls (Paleo)

These creamy lemon coconut balls make a tasty healthy snack - they are low carb, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free. With a delicious blend of zesty lemon and creamy coconut, these bliss balls are an easy to make no-bake snack!

I'm a big fan of all things lemon and coconut, so these lemon coconut balls are a match made in heaven for me! They remind me of a lemon cheesecake but are most definitely a more healthy version in a convenient bite-sized package!

(This post for Lemon Bliss Balls was originally published on Love Food Nourish in November 2018)

I am always on the lookout for healthy unprocessed snacks that can be easy to grab and go or pop into lunchboxes.

My little boy adores these and prefers them to any other flavoured bliss balls including the ones with chocolate or cacao!

That is fine by me as these are a little less stimulating with the added benefits of some vitamin C goodness from the lemons.

He loves helping me roll them into balls - especially as he gets to do it twice - once into a ball then once again into the desiccated coconut.

Additional Recipe Notes:

• I have used raw honey in these lemon bliss balls - the delicate flavour of the honey really compliments the zesty tangy lemon.
• If you would like these bliss balls to be sugar-free you could use liquid stevia instead. Start off with a small amount such as 5 drops, blitz, and taste, add more if desired.
• If you are in a warmer climate then it may help to put the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes before rolling the dough into the bliss balls.
• Please ensure you use almond meal and not almond flour.

How to store bliss balls:

These can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. These lemon bliss balls also can be frozen for up to 3 months.

To soak the cashew nuts either leave overnight place cashews in a covered bowl, pour enough tepid water over them to cover them rinse, and drain in the morning or you can put them in a covered bowl with hot water for 10 minutes, then rinse and drain.
