How To Store Your Energy Balls
You can either store your balls on the counter, in the fridge or in your freezer.
Personally, we keep ours in the fridge as they never last long enough to need to go in the freezer.
However, if you do keep them in the freezer, make sure you freeze them spaced out on a baking sheet first to ensure they don’t all freeze together. Then after about 20 minutes, you can store them in the freezer altogether.
These protein balls should last in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container, or 1 month in the freezer.
