Health Benefits:

Rich in Healthy Fats

  • Shredded coconut and coconut oil are excellent sources of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which provide a quick energy boost and may support brain health.

  • Almonds are rich in monounsaturated fats, which promote heart health and help regulate cholesterol levels.

    Boosts Energy Levels

    • Honey is a natural sweetener packed with antioxidants and offers a quick source of energy. Its natural sugars, combined with the healthy fats in this recipe, provide sustained energy without spikes in blood sugar.

    Supports Immune Function

    • Limes are high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps strengthen the immune system and fight inflammation.

    • The combination of vitamin C and the natural antibacterial properties of honey can support overall health.

    Aids Digestion

    • Shredded coconut contains dietary fiber, which promotes gut health and aids digestion.

    • Lime juice may stimulate digestive enzymes, helping the body better break down food.

    Promotes Skin Health

    • The vitamin E in almonds and the vitamin C in limes work together to nourish the skin, reduce oxidative stress, and promote a healthy glow.

These energy balls are gluten-free, dairy-free, and loaded with nutrient-dense ingredients, making them an excellent option for those following a paleo or health-conscious diet. Enjoy them as a pre-workout snack, a mid-day energy boost, or a guilt-free dessert.
