Coconut Lemon Energy Bites

Summer is here and these energy bites are the perfect refreshing snack/ dessert, in my opinion! They're sweet, they're juicy and lemon-y! I can honestly say these Coconut Lemon Energy Bites are one of my favorite summer desserts- wholesome, light on the tummy and all in all- delicious!

They require only a few ingredients and believe me, you'll make them in no time! That's something I'm really passionate about- making recipes that are simple, easy and don't take much of your time! Plant-based living is actually like this most of the time and that's one of the things I love about it the most!
