Description
Delightful no-bake protein balls bursting with strawberry cheesecake flavor, perfect for healthy snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 (as needed)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Stir until the blend is uniform.
- Add the wet ingredients: Carefully incorporate the softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend all the ingredients together until everything is well combined, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
- Adjust consistency: If the mixture feels too dense or crumbly, gradually introduce milk. Add just enough until you can achieve a cohesive texture that holds together well.
- Roll into balls: With clean hands, grab portions of the mixture, pressing firmly as you roll them into 1-inch balls. Maintain their shape by ensuring they’re tightly packed.
- Chill: Arrange the protein balls on a parchment-lined plate and place them in the refrigerator. Allow them to firm up for at least 30 minutes before indulging.
Notes
These protein balls can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge or frozen for longer storage. Experiment with different nut butters or mix-ins for customization.
