Blend the cashews and shredded coconut in a food processor with the S blade attachment until they become a thick mixture.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and maple syrup. Blend again until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Then, use a spatula to mix in the hemp seeds and almond flour.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the batter and roll it into balls. Roll the balls into a small bowl with the ½ cup of coconut to coat the balls.
Place the balls in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.

It is a bit of extra work but so worth it to use fresh lemons! You can use the zest, and the natural flavor is so much better than concentrate.
You can always think about adding some unflavored protein powder to really kick up the health factor and get more protein into your diet.
These can easily last a couple weeks in the freezer so buy your items in bulk, make a big batch and then you will be able to store them for a quick on-the-go snack!
