Lemon Ginger Protein Energy Bites (Gluten-Free)

Add all the ingredients to a food processor including, 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup cashew butter, 3 tablespoons coconut, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger. Mix until well blended and a large dough ball forms.
If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or cashew butter to help it bind. If it's too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out balls of dough about 1 inch in diameter. Roll them smooth in your hands, and place in an airtight container. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.

Zest the lemon before juicing: It’s much easier, and the zest adds most of the lemon flavor, so I don’t skip it.

Use a mild nut butter: Cashew butter keeps the lemon bright. Stronger nut butters can overpower the flavor.

Adjust before rolling: If the dough feels dry, add a small splash of lemon juice. If it’s sticky, a little more almond flour fixes it fast.

Chill only if needed: I usually roll them right away, but a short chill helps if your kitchen is warm.

Taste before scooping: Lemon and ginger can vary, so I always taste the dough and adjust zest or ginger before rolling.
