These vanilla lemon energy balls are one of my favorite go-to snacks. Not only are they a great fueling source, but also an ideal recovery snack with the added protein powder, or simply a mid-afternoon snack to keep you out of that office energy slump. Not only are they zesty and delicious, but quick and easy to make and can be stored in the fridge or freezer to get you going in a hurry!
