Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp milk (any kind, as needed)
How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
Mix in the softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until it starts to form a dough.
3rd Step: Adjust the Texture
If the dough is too dry and crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, one at a time, until it reaches a smooth, moldable consistency.
Step 4: Roll Into Balls
Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a plate or a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Chill and Enjoy
Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This helps them hold their shape and develop the perfect chewy texture.
