- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon turmeric ground

INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the pits from the dates and soak them in warm water for five minutes. When the dates are softened, drain them and place them in a food processor. Save the water.
Add the other ingredients to a food processor and blend until the mixture turns into a dough-like consistency. Add 1 tablespoon of water in which you have soaked the dates if the mixture is too dry.
Also, with the small spoon scoop the mixture and roll into balls. Roll the balls in shredded coconut and place on the baking sheet.
Store energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
