Notes
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more almond milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a little more almond flour, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- You can roll these in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or extra cocoa powder for an added touch.
- Different protein powders may absorb liquid differently, so adjust almond milk as needed.
