Notes

Protein Powder- I used Livbody Cake Batter protein powder, but you may use any type you like! Just note if you choose a flavor that is not vanilla or a neutral such as vanilla, it will affect the flavor.
Dates– These help keep the balls together!
Maple Syrup- A natural sweetener, feel free to use honey instead if you are not vegan.
Black Strap Molasses– In my opinion, you cannot have the ginger taste without it!
Oats- These give the balls their texture. I have not tried Quinoa flakes in this specific, but I have in other recipes I used oats in, so that may be a great alternative.
Cinnamon- If you do not have cinnamon, you may use allspice.
Allspice- If you do not have allspice, use cinnamon.
Ginger– Sorry, no sub for this! I used powdered ginger, as real ginger is a little too intense!
Salt– It helps balance out the sweetness, but you may omit! I used sea salt.
