I’ve been on a lemon kick lately. And it’s not just a dessert thing. I have been going heavy on the lemon in savory dishes too. There’s something about the tartness that I just adore, particularly as the weather warms up.

Energy balls are a staple in our house, and this recipe offers a delicious balance of sweet and tart in a single bite. If you’re a lemon lover like me, these little balls of goodness will disappear quickly and you’ll find yourself back at the supermarket lugging home yet another bag of beautiful, bold citrus.
