    Can these be frozen? If so, for how long? I’m due next month with baby #4 and I want to prep these now and freeze for a quick snack.

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Stephanie. Congrats on #4! Hoping this last month goes smoothly for you. Yes, you can freeze these in an airtight container. They should be fine for a month or maybe longer.

    Love these and so easy that my grandson can make them. Was wondering if you could add coconut to them and how much.

    1. Jill says:

      Thanks Joyce. Sure, that would be a great addition. I would start out with 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut and mix that in to see what the results are.

  6. Joy Merulla says:

    Just wondering how many calories & protein are in each ball?

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Joy. Each ball has approximately 125 calories and 5 grams of protein. We have added protein powder to these as well for added protein.
