Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dried strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (or dairy-free alternative), softened
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Gather and Prep Ingredients: Measure all dry and wet ingredients accurately. Chop the dried strawberries finely to ensure even distribution in each protein ball.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, chia seeds, and chopped dried strawberries. Stir well to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Sweetener: Add softened cream cheese and honey or maple syrup to the dry mixture. Use a sturdy spoon or your hands to blend everything until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
  4. Form the Balls: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, ensuring easy snacking and portion control.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and enhance flavor melding.

Notes

  • Soft Cream Cheese Matters: Fully soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps for a smooth texture.
  • Customize Sweetness: Adjust honey or maple syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level or dietary needs.
  • Even Size: Use a small cookie scoop for uniform-sized balls to ensure even chilling and serving.
  • Storing Instructions: Keep protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Add Texture: If dough is too sticky, gradually add more oats or almond flour for better handling.
