💡 Tips & Tricks for the Best Protein Balls
1. How to Make Rolling Easier
If your hands get sticky when rolling the ladoo bites, try:
✅ Lightly oiling your hands with coconut oil.
✅ Chilling the mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes before rolling.
✅ Using a small cookie scoop for even portions.
2. Adjusting the Texture
If the dough feels too dry, add a little extra warm water or coconut oil (one teaspoon at a time) until it holds together. If the dough is too sticky, mix in a little extra almond flour or coconut flour to firm it up.
3. Make It Your Own!
This recipe is super versatile, so feel free to customize it:
🌰 Swap cashew butter for almond butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
