CAN DATE BALLS BE FROZEN? Yes! You can make a batch of these and pop them in your freezer to have on hand when you need them! Once you roll them out into balls, just freeze them on a baking sheet then put them in an airtight container. They will keep for about 3 months. Just pop them in the fridge overnight to thaw and you’re ready to enjoy them again!

ARE DATE BALLS KETO FRIENDLY? I wouldn’t consider this a keto friendly snack but it depends on what you can fit into your macros. Each 1 ounce ball has 8 grams carbs and 2 grams fiber which is 6 grams NET carbs each. If you’re looking for a little sweet fix it’s certainly better than a cookie!
