Tips for Perfect Protein Balls
- If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash more milk (1 tsp at a time) until it comes together.
- If it’s too sticky, pop the dough in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to firm up before rolling.
- For even protein balls, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion them out before rolling
