Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly with a whisk until evenly blended.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Carefully fold the creamy mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients using a spatula, then incorporate the chopped fresh strawberries.
  4. Using clean hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into small balls, placing them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
  6. Once chilled, remove the protein balls from the refrigerator and serve as a healthy snack or post-workout treat.
