Can I use a different nut butter?

Absolutely! Just be sure to use a brand that only contains 1 - 2 ingredients - the nut and sea salt!

Do I have to use protein powder?

Nope! If you want to skip the protein, just substitute with a little extra almond flour until the consistency is scoopable.

Can I make these without coconut?

Yes - simply omit the shredded coconut.

What kind of chocolate chips do you recommend?

I have used them all - mini chocolate chips, baking chips, regular chocolate chips, and I have even roughly chopped a chocolate bar I already had in the pantry.
