Recipe Notes
* If you are watching your sodium intake you can skip the salt as it is optional.
* For a vegan version, you may use plant-based protein powder. Take note that this type of protein soaks a lot of moisture so you will need to add water until the preparation is wet enough to be shaped into balls.
* Add 1 teaspoon chia seeds for even more nutrients and omega-3.
* Use the scoop provided with your particular product
