It says these are protein balls but the ingredients there is no metric for protein powder?
Lucy
The cashews provide the protein element, however you can absolutely add protein powder too if you like!
Jenna Greene
How much protein powder would you have to add and would that mean adding in more of the wet ingredients to make sure it doesn't go dry?
Lucy
Hi Jenna, if you're adding a tablespoon of protein powder, reduce the coconut accordingly. xx
jasmine
What is the texture like for these? are they firm?
Lucy
Hi Jasmine, well they're relatively firm (in that they hold their shape) but they're also semi-soft to bite into!

Mine only made 7 balls and they aren’t that big. Followed the steps and ingredients/ still tasty though.
