Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Provides structure and fiber; swap for ground oats for a smoother texture.
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder Adds energy-boosting protein; substitute with your favorite flavor for variety.
  • 1/2 cup Almond Butter Acts as a creamy binding agent; can be replaced with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Natural sweetener that helps hold everything together; agave syrup or maple syrup work as good alternatives.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries Adds a burst of natural sweetness; if using frozen, ensure they are well thawed and drained.
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Delivers that rich cheesecake flavor and creaminess; consider low-fat cream cheese or a dairy-free alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather Ingredients: Begin by collecting all the necessary ingredients for your Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls. Ensure you have rolled oats, protein powder, almond butter, honey, fresh strawberries, and cream cheese at hand.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and protein powder. Stir the mixture well until it’s evenly distributed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond butter and honey, then mix thoroughly until creating a thick and sticky dough, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Strawberries & Cream Cheese: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and softened cream cheese, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Roll Into Balls: With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Chill & Serve: Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
