Step 3: Adjust Texture if Needed

Add a little more milk if the dough feels dry or crumbly—just enough to make it easy to roll.

❓ FAQ

Can I use fresh strawberries?
Nope—too wet for this recipe. Stick to freeze-dried for the best texture.

Can I skip the protein powder?
Yes! Just replace it with extra almond flour and sweeten to taste.

Are they sweet enough?
Totally! But you can always add a little extra maple syrup if you like it sweeter.

Can I make these nut-free?
Use sunflower seed butter and oat flour instead of almond-based ingredients.

How long do they last?
Keep in the fridge up to a week or freeze for up to a month.

✨ That’s It!
