Instructions

- Scoop Dough: Once the mixture is evenly combined and forms a dough, use a small cookie scoop to portion out and roll the dough into balls.
- Store: Place the formed protein balls in a covered container and store in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh and firm.
Notes
- Using hands to knead the mixture helps it come together better.
- Store protein balls in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Feel free to swap mini M&M’s for nuts or dried fruit to customize the flavor.
