Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before freezing for a sweet-salty contrast.
Use a silicone mold for the easiest release—no liner needed.
Let the protein rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Season each component individually rather than seasoning at the end — this builds deeper, more complex flavor throughout.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Label with the date and recipe name.
Reheating
Not applicable—enjoy frozen or slightly thawed for 2 minutes at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do they melt at room temperature?
- Coconut oil softens above 76°F, so these must be kept frozen or refrigerated.
- Can I use peanut butter instead?
- Absolutely, just check that your peanut butter has no added sugar.
- How long does this keep?
- Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, most homemade snacks stay fresh for 5 to 7 days. Refrigerated versions keep for up to 10 days.
- Can I adjust the seasoning?
- Absolutely. The seasoning amounts are starting points — taste and adjust to your preference. Start with less if you are sensitive to salt or spice, and add more gradually.
