Lemon drizzle energy balls
What do you do when you've got a bowl full of lemons, need some energy balls to take out on a bike ride and are fed up of chocolate? Make lemon drizzle energy balls!
Fresh and juicy lemons, coconut, dates and almonds. That's all you need. Four ingredients to make zesty energy balls which taste just like a sticky piece of lemon drizzle cake. It takes an awful lot of will power to not eat the whole bowlful while you roll the mixture into balls. Don't say I didn't warn you!
