Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients and Tools: Collect all the ingredients along with mixing bowls and a spatula to make the preparation smooth and organized.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and vanilla protein powder thoroughly, ensuring an even base for the balls.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add almond butter and honey or maple syrup to the dry mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly moistened.
  4. Fold in Cream Cheese and Strawberries: Gently fold the softened cream cheese and chopped fresh strawberries into the mixture, being careful not to crush the berries to keep the texture intact.
  5. Shape Into Balls: Use your hands to form the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter for easy snacking.
  6. Chill: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute cream cheese with vegan cream cheese and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to mix evenly without clumps.
  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Add unsweetened coconut flakes for extra texture and flavor, or omit if preferred.
  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best taste and natural sweetness.
