About the Recipe
I made a big batch of these lemon coconut bliss balls because my daughter is obsessed with them! She can’t get enough, and they’re the perfect little bite-sized snack.
I love that they’re super simple to make using ingredients we already have in the pantry, so no extra trips to the store.
These are much more cost-effective than buying the expensive packaged versions, and they taste so much better too!
With just a touch of nut butter and a zesty lemon kick, they’re the ideal chewy snack for busy days.
Plus, they’re perfect for popping in the lunchbox or keeping on hand when we’re rushing out the door. It's a total win-win: delicious, budget-friendly, and totally loved by my little one!
