Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Wet Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl to streamline the preparation process.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Mix the rolled oats and vanilla protein powder thoroughly until evenly blended.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the almond butter and honey or maple syrup, mixing until a thick dough forms that holds together well.
  4. Incorporate Strawberries and Cream Cheese: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and softened reduced-fat cream cheese, ensuring the mixture is well combined without pulverizing the strawberries.
  5. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter for convenient snacking.
  6. Chill: Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make this recipe vegan-friendly if you also choose a plant-based cream cheese alternative.
  • For added texture and flavor, optional unsweetened coconut flakes can be mixed into the dough or rolled on the outside of each ball.
  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
