FAQs
- Do I have to use these exact ingredients?
- No! These balls are highly customizable! Swap out almonds for your favourite nut or seed, or roll in desiccated coconut for a different flavour profile!
- My mix won’t come together, what am I doing wrong?
- Be patient and keep mixing! The mix sometimes takes time to completely come together, just when you think it won’t, it will!
