Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 tbsp milk (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder until evenly blended.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Incorporate the softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir until well combined and sticky.
  3. Add milk if needed: If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, gradually add milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough achieves a smooth, moldable consistency.
  4. Form balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
  5. Chill: Arrange the formed balls on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and develop flavor before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Use a plant-based protein powder to keep the recipe vegan.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup according to taste.
  • Store protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze for longer storage up to 2 months and thaw before eating.
