Turmeric and lemon are the magic ingredients in my golden yellow bliss bites. These are better than any health food energy bar you can buy. Here is a wholesome, satisfying snack made with bright lemon flavor and simple pantry ingredients. Easy to make and so pretty with their fresh yellow color with speckles of chia seeds.

Instructions

1. Add into a blender raw cashews, oats, coconut flour, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and salt. Blend on medium speed for 1minute until the dough resembles a soft flour mixture.
2. In a bowl combine lemon juice, zest, maple syrup, grated ginger and chia seeds. Stir together to combine. Pour your cashew-oat-mixture into the wet ingredients and stir to combine well.
3. Let batter sit in refrigerator until chilled for 20 minutes. Then roll mixture into 2-tablespoon-sized balls with your hands, pressing firmly to shape. It may help to use a little water on your hands to roll the bites. Repeat with remaining mixture.
4. Store in freezer for up to 2 months or refrigerate for up to one week.
