Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: For the best flavor and nutritional value, make sure to use high-quality almond flour, dried coconut meat, and whey protein powder. Organic ingredients are often a good choice if available.
- Adjust sweetness: You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste. If you prefer a low-sugar option, you can substitute honey with a low-calorie sweetener.
- Chill before serving: After forming the balls, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and improve their texture.
- Store properly: Store the coconut protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a longer shelf life, you can freeze them for up to a month.
- Customize flavors: Feel free to add other ingredients such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even small amounts of dried fruit to customize the flavor and nutritional profile to your liking.
