FAQs:
Q: Can I use a different type of protein powder? A: While we recommend pea protein for its neutral flavor and smooth texture, you can experiment with other types of protein powders such as whey or soy. Just keep in mind that the flavor and consistency may vary slightly.
Q: Can I substitute almond butter with another nut butter? A: Absolutely! Feel free to use your favorite nut butter, such as peanut butter or cashew butter, as a delicious alternative to almond butter.
Q: Are these breakfast balls suitable for nut allergies? A: Unfortunately, no. Since almond butter and crushed almonds are key ingredients in this recipe, it’s not suitable for those with nut allergies. However, you may be able to substitute sunflower seed butter and omit the crushed almonds for a nut-free version.
Q: How should I store these breakfast balls? A: Store the breakfast balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze them for longer storage, just be sure to thaw them in the refrigerator before enjoying.
