These lemon balls are a burst of sunshine in every bite! Crafted from raw cashews, coconut, and lemon zest and juice, they're a delicious pick-me-up that will brighten your day. The zesty tartness of lemon takes center stage, balanced by the naturally sweet and creamy undertone of coconut. These no-bake coconut energy balls are also super easy to roll together!

Notes
Note: prep time does not include the hour it takes to refrigerate the balls.Ground turmeric is what gives these lemon balls their bright yellow color. Don't worry, you don't taste it at all as turmeric is neutral-tasting unless it is cooked. We use the same trick in our coconut lemon ice cream recipe!
