• Incorporate dried fruits – Swap out the raisins with other dried fruits like dried cranberries, cherries, apricots or blueberries. You can also mix and match different dried fruits for a burst of flavor and texture.

• Vary the oats – You can use different types of oats in your protein balls, such as quick oats or steel-cut oats. Just keep in mind that the texture may differ slightly depending on the type of oats you choose.
• Incorporate superfoods – Boost the nutritional value of your protein balls by adding superfood ingredients like spirulina, maca powder or goji berries. These additions will not only enhance the flavor but also provide additional health benefits.
• Add a coating – For a fun and tasty twist, try coating your protein balls in melted dark chocolate, crushed nuts, or unsweetened shredded coconut.
• Try a different nut butter – instead of cashew butter, you can use your favorite nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter or walnut butter.
