1
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, poppy seeds, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
2
Optional additions: For a more lemony flavor, zest the lemon before juicing and add the zest to the bowl. For a sweeter flavor, optionally add a sprinkle of your preferred zero-calorie sweetener.
3
Add the almond butter, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a small drizzle of additional lemon juice or water until it comes together.
4
Transfer the dough to the refrigerator and chill for 15-30 minutes to firm up.

Once chilled, roll the mixture into the total number of balls listed in the recipe’s serving details (about 2 tablespoons per ball). Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
