Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing about 1 cup of fresh strawberries, then hull and chop them. In a medium bowl, mash the strawberries with a fork until they reach a smooth consistency, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed strawberries with 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and your choice of sweetener. Blend until you achieve a creamy, uniform texture.
  3. Gradually incorporate 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs, and 1 scoop of protein powder into the wet mixture and stir until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
  4. Using your hands, take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Refrigerate the tray of formed Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  6. Once chilled, your Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls are ready to enjoy! Serve chilled and consider garnishing with fresh strawberries or graham cracker crumbs.
