Notes

Makes 5 large balls or 7 mini ones.
Make the balls nut free by using Sunflower Seed butter in place of nut butter.
The amount of water you need will depend on the kind of protein powder you use. You want the batter sticky but not too thick.
I used Vega chocolate protein powder and didn’t need ANY water.
Likewise, you can replace the water with maple syrup if you don’t love the taste of your protein powder.
Nutrition values are based on 5 protein balls.
