No-bake strawberry cheesecake protein balls are creamy, fruity, and energizing bite-sized snacks made with wholesome ingredients like oats, cream cheese, and freeze-dried strawberries. They taste like dessert but are packed with protein for a nutritious boost.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or strawberry protein powder
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (regular or light)
  • 1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1/4 cup almond flour or coconut flour
  • 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 2 tbsp white chocolate chips or yogurt chips
  • Optional: 1–2 tbsp milk (if needed to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, almond flour, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  3. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of milk. If it’s too wet, add more oats or almond flour.
  4. Fold in white chocolate chips or yogurt chips if using.
  5. Roll the dough into 12–14 bite-sized balls.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes until firm.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use oat flour instead of almond flour for a nut-free version.
  • For a dairy-free option, use plant-based cream cheese and protein powder.
  • Don’t use fresh strawberries—they make the mixture too wet.
  • Mix by hand—no food processor needed.
  • Freeze-dried raspberries can be used instead of strawberries for a tart variation.
