Notes

Expert Tips and Storage Instructions
  • If the mixture is too dry and the balls won't hold together, add another 2-3 tablespoons of peanut butter, and stir to combine.
  • The consistency of the mixture is dependent on the consistency of the peanut butter you use. Natural peanut butter is generally thinner is consistency and combines well. But if your peanut butter is on the dry side, you'll need to use more in order for the balls to hold together.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 
  • You can also freeze these protein balls for up to 3 months when stored in a freezer safe airtight bag, or container.
