These no-bake lemon protein balls are a quick and healthy snack that you can take with you on the go! They're also packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, so they'll give you a nice little boost in energy and support your metabolism.


Lemon flavored anything to me just screams spring. Probably in part because it reminds me of Easter, but also because lemon is just cheery and happy. It's just a bonus that it's also healthy. For our protein balls, we're using a really delicious base of ingredients and adding in lemon zest for flavor.

No-Bake Lemon Protein Balls Recipe


Ingredients
  • 1 cup medjool dates about 12
  • 1 cup brazil nuts
  • 1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder or unflavored
  • 1 tablespoon maca powder
  • 1 tablespoon nut/seed butter of choice I used cashew
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest about 1 whole lemon
  • Water as needed
Instructions
  1. Add dates and brazil nuts to the bowl of a food processor. Process on high until finely ground. Add remaining ingredients (minus water) and blend until combined.
  2. If a dough forms, then don't add water. If it still seems a little dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, processing completely between each addition, until a dough begins to form.
  3. Shape the dough into balls, about the size of golf balls, and place in the fridge/freezer to firm up.
  4. I like to store mine in the fridge/freezer to maximize shelf life!

Keto Fried Chicken Tenders with Almond Flour Recipe
This mouthwatering low carb fried chicken will make your friends and family love you. They won’t even know that it’s low carb.

INGREDIENTS
  • 500 g chicken breast
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder optional
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • coconut oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Slice your chicken breast to produce lengthwise ribbons.
  2. Smash the spices and garlic clove in a mortar. Coat the chicken with the crushed spices and garlic. Crack the egg in the chicken bowl. Mix together with the sour cream and lemon juice. Fold gently to drench the chicken in the seasonings.
  3. Cover the chicken with the lid and chill in the fridge for about an hour, flipping the pieces occasionally to marinate thoroughly. After an hour, remove the liquid to make sure the meat is not too wet and soggy.
  4. Pour the almond flour in a container with a lid. Transfer the seasoned chicken into the container. Replace the lid and shake well to coat the chicken with enough flour.
  5. Set a deep fryer to 375°F and pour in the oil in.
  6. Once the oil becomes hot enough, deep fry the chicken strips for 10-15 minutes. Serve immediately once the strips become golden
