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

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients and Tools: Collect all ingredients along with mixing bowls and a spatula to prepare for mixing.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats and vanilla protein powder until evenly combined, forming the base of the mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup), mixing until the oats and protein powder are evenly moistened and the mixture begins to stick together.
  4. Fold in Cream Cheese and Strawberries: Gently fold softened cream cheese and chopped strawberries into the mixture carefully to avoid breaking the berries and to maintain a creamy texture.
  5. Shape into Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before enjoying.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute almond butter with peanut butter and use a plant-based protein powder and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to easily incorporate without lumps.
  • These protein balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Add coconut flakes for extra texture and tropical flavor.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best taste and sweetness.
  • If mixture is too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add a little more almond butter or honey.
