lemon coconut protein balls

raw and refined sugar free protein balls with lemon, coconut and almonds

Lemons… a housewife’s best friend. So versatile for baking, cooking and cleaning! We love lemons in sweet or savoury dishes and our kids enjoy homemade lemonade. I always use a lemon to descale my kettle (the water boiling variety not the barbecue!) and clean the kitchen sink so its a good thing our lemon tree fruits all year round. 

These lemon coconut protein balls pack a lemon punch and are easy peasy to make.
