Made the power balls today – so good! I rolled them in coconut and they are chllin’ in the fridge. Can’t wait to snack on them at work this week! Thank you for posting!

On the ‘Lemon Pie Energy Bites’ – is that the zest of two lemons or just one? By bracketing (plus zest of 1 lemon) and then listing it as well indicates, at least to my literal mind, that it is the zest of two lemons. Can you please clarify? Otherwise, thank you for sharing such awesome recipes.
Stephanie Brubaker says
I’m sorry about that, I need to fix the recipe. The lemon juice and zest of one lemon go into the energy bites. I added the zest of another lemon on top – but that is optional. Hope you enjoy them!
