💡 Pro Tips & Troubleshooting
Consistency Issues
- Too dry/crumbly: Add more nut butter or honey, 1 tablespoon at a time
- Too wet/sticky: Add more ground flax seeds or oats
- Won’t hold together: Dates might be too dry – soak longer or add honey
Flavor Adjustments
- Not sweet enough: Add 1-2 more dates or extra honey
- Too sweet: Add more nuts or a pinch more salt
- Bland: Increase vanilla, cinnamon, or add lemon zest
- Coffee too mild: Increase ground coffee to 3-4 tablespoons
- Coffee too gritty: Grind finer or sift through fine mesh
- Too spicy: Reduce cayenne pepper to 1/8 teaspoon
- Psyllium too thick: Add gradually and mix well to avoid clumping
Storage & Usage
- Refrigerator: 2 weeks in airtight container
- Freezer: 6 months, thaw 10 minutes before eating
- Smoothie use: Drop 1 bomb directly into blender
- Snack: Eat 1-2 bombs for afternoon energy boost
