Strawberry Cheesecake Balls (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Flavor and Binding
01 -
1-2 tablespoons milk (just add what you need)
02 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 -
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, smashed up
04 -
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (pick your fave)
05 -
1/4 cup cream cheese, nice and soft
→ Base Mixture
06 -
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
07 -
1 cup almond flour
08 -
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pop them in a sealed container and stash them in the fridge for up to a week. They're just as tasty cold or if you let them warm up a bit first.
02 -
Tuck the balls in the fridge for at least half an hour so they get nice and firm.
03 -
Scoop out the dough and roll it up into 1-inch bites. Spread them on a plate lined with parchment paper.
04 -
If things are looking a bit dry, splash in some milk a little at a time until you can squish it all together.
05 -
Mix in the softened cream cheese, crushed strawberries, maple syrup or honey, and the vanilla extract into your dry stuff. Keep stirring until you get a dough you can shape.
06 -
Grab a big bowl and toss in the oats, almond flour, and protein powder. Mix it all up so it's evenly blended.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Try swapping in oat flour instead of almond flour if nuts aren't your thing.
02 -
Use coconut-based cream cheese or Greek yogurt if you want to go dairy-free.
03 -
Want to keep 'em fresh for longer? Freeze them, and you'll be good for three months.
04 -
Fancy them up? Pour a little melted dark chocolate on top.
