How to Make No bake birthday cake protein balls
Start with soaking the raw cashews with a pinch of salt in hot water for 2 hours or in cold water overnight on the kitchen counter. Then drain and rinse the nuts. Set aside.
If the Medjool dates are not soft, you can soak them too in hot water to soften them up. Soak for 10 minutes and then drain the water.
Once balls have set for about 20-30 minutes, you can place in an airtight container and enjoy!
