Protein balls Method
- Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. It should resemble a somewhat sticky dough that holds together when lightly squeezed.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set (this will make the balls easier to roll later on).
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and, using wet hands, portion the dough into balls of the desired size.
- Roll the balls in ground pistachios to coat. Place on a tray. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm.
