Notes

Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2-3 months.

If the pumpkin mixture is too sticky, add a little bit of oats or protein powder. If it's too dry, add a splash of almond milk or more pumpkin to achieve a consistency that's easy to form into balls and does not fall apart.
