Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of almond flour, and 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. Use a whisk to ensure the ingredients are blended evenly.
  2. To the dry mixture, add ¼ cup of honey (or maple syrup), 4 oz of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of chopped fresh strawberries, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir with a spatula until everything is well combined.
  3. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  4. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to portion out the mixture, rolling it into 1-inch balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Transfer the rolled strawberry cheesecake protein balls to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
