Helpful Tips

• If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of almond milk to make it easier to roll.
• For a different flavor, substitute half the almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter.
• These protein balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
• Experiment with add-ins like mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or chia seeds for extra texture and flavor.
