- Remove from refrigerator and enjoy!

- NUT BUTTER: Instead of using peanut butter, you can also substitute with Almond Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter, Tahini, Soynut Butter, Pecan Butter, Hazelnut Butter, or Granola Butter.
- VEGAN OPTION: To make these protein balls vegan-friendly, simply substitute the honey with pure maple syrup, date syrup, etc.
