Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Flavor & Texture Add-Ins

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients in a large mixing bowl to prepare for combining.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Mix the rolled oats and vanilla protein powder thoroughly until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) into the dry mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
  4. Fold in Strawberries and Cream Cheese: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and softened reduced-fat cream cheese, making sure they are well incorporated without overmixing.
  5. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter for easy snacking portion sizes.
  6. Chill: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Use fresh strawberries that are firm and ripe for the best flavor and texture.
  • The coconut flakes are optional but add a nice texture and flavor contrast.
  • Store these protein balls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
