01 -

They come together in literally 15 minutes with zero baking required
Each bite delivers 5 grams of protein without that chalky protein powder aftertaste

If your dough feels too dry to roll, add a teaspoon more honey or a splash of water
Chilling is non-negotiable—the texture transforms from sticky to perfectly chewy

Wet your hands slightly before rolling to prevent sticking
Let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the softest texture
