Notes

  • Is this recipe be filling enough to serve on it's own for breakfast? Because these Protein Balls are (obviously) packed with protein, which is especially important for breakfast, as it can help you feel full and satisfied, and avoid snacking before lunch.
  • Do these travel well? Yes. Because all of the ingredients are shelf-stable, they are perfect to pack for camping trips, a long flight, or a weekend road trip.
