Recipe FAQs

Expert Recipe Tips

• Use your hands.I typically end up using my hands at the end of the mixing to make sure everything gets mixed together and well incorporated.
• Choose a quality protein.My absolute favorite protein isBe Well By Kelly protein powderbecause of the quality of ingredients. It only has 3 ingredients and no added sugars. I’ve also tested this recipe with Iso Food (whey-free) cake batter protein.
• Stick with a liquid sweetener. You could use honey in place of the maple syrup, but using coconut sugar or brown sugar might make the protein balls too dry.

Freezing and Storing Tips

Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Cake batter protein bites freeze well for up to 3 months.
