Anti-inflammatory lemon and turmeric energy balls

The perfect energy filled snack for when you're on the go.

Anti inflammatory energy-filled snack, anyone? Did I mention they are down right delicious too?

When it comes to energy balls I always feel like A lot of emphasis goes on the chocolate and nutty flavours and I have no problem with that as everyone would know by now I love nothing more than dipping a chunk of chocolate into the peanut butter jar however I do feel we need to throw a bit more love to chocolate’s  fun citrus cousin, lemons!

If like me you like bursting pops of freshness along with added crunch then these super amazing anti inflammatory energy balls are going to be right up alley, my friend.

This recipe will yield  17 energy ballas about the size (45g) yep, that’s about the same size as the ones you fork out $4 for at a café. Save your pennies and make your own!
