Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or cheesecake flavor)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Finely ground oats can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Both can be used interchangeably.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup diced strawberries Fresh strawberries are recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, almond flour, rolled oats, and salt. Stir until well incorporated.
  2. Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is blended, and the mixture begins to clump together.
  3. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being mindful not to overmix. You want those lovely fruity bits to remain chunky for texture!
  4. Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture feels too sticky, simply wet your hands with a little water.
  5. Place the rolled protein balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
Serving
  1. Once chilled, you can serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container for later.

Notes

For optimal freshness, store your Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for about one week, or freeze them for up to three months.
