Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls are creamy, sweet no-bake snacks made with real strawberries, cream cheese, and vanilla protein. These healthy bites taste like dessert but offer balanced nutrition for on-the-go fuel or post-workout recovery.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
  • 1/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 2 oz cream cheese (regular or light), softened
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 2 tbsp white chocolate chips or crushed graham crackers for rolling

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix protein powder, oat flour, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  2. In another bowl, stir together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm it up.
  5. Roll the chilled dough into 12–14 small balls using your hands or a cookie scoop.
  6. Optional: Roll each ball in extra crushed strawberries or graham cracker crumbs for coating.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Chill longer or add more oat flour if the dough is too sticky.
  • Use a plant-based protein powder and dairy-free cream cheese/yogurt for a vegan version.
  • Drizzle melted white chocolate for a dessert-style finish.
  • Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months and thaw before eating.
