For the Protein Balls

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened) use vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free version
  • 0.5 cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed) fresh strawberries may alter texture

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of almond flour, and 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. Stir the dry ingredients together until they're evenly mixed.
  2. Add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of crushed freeze-dried strawberries, 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough starts to form.
  3. If the dough feels too dry and crumbly, gradually add a tablespoon of milk, mixing well after each addition until the dough is moldable but not sticky.
  4. Scoop out small portions of dough, about one inch in diameter, and roll them into balls. Place the formed protein balls on a parchment-lined plate.
  5. Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. After chilling, they are ready to be enjoyed!
