Delicious and nutritious Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls that combine the flavors of creamy cheesecake with the sweetness of strawberries, perfect for a healthy snack or post-workout boost.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir until a uniform mixture is formed.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the dough is smooth enough to roll.
  4. Shape the Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Press firmly to ensure each ball holds its shape and does not crumble.
  5. Chill: Place the protein balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries provide great flavor without adding moisture; avoid using fresh strawberries to prevent sogginess.
  • Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
  • Experiment with different protein powder flavors such as strawberry or cheesecake to enhance the taste.
