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. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients along with your mixing bowls and spatula to have everything ready for assembling.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats and vanilla protein powder until evenly combined to create the base mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the almond butter and honey or maple syrup to the dry mixture and stir well until the mixture is evenly moistened and sticky enough to hold together.
  4. Fold in Cream Cheese and Strawberries: Gently fold in the softened cream cheese and chopped fresh strawberries with care so that the berries maintain their shape and the cream cheese blends through.
  5. Form Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they hold their form well.
  6. Chill: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut or cashew butter if preferred.
  • For a vegan option, replace cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Adding the optional coconut flakes gives an extra texture and subtle coconut flavor.
  • Store these protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more oats; if too dry, add a small amount of almond butter or honey to adjust texture.
