After you mix all the ingredients together, which takes you about 10 minutes, cover the mixture and place it in the fridge for a 30 minute rest.
That 30 minute chill time helps make the next step a little easier.
After the 30 min chill, you’ll want to remove the protein balls from the refrigerator and start rolling them into little balls.
The chill period in the fridge helps keep these from sticking to your hands when you roll them into little balls. We try to roll them in to balls that are about 1 – 1.5 inches in diameter.
Depending on the size of the balls you roll them into, this recipes will make around 25 – 30 power bites.
