Description
Indulge in the perfect balance of flavor and nutrition with these Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls – a quick, easy, and healthy treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without the guilt.
Ingredients
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
– 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
1- Start by washing and dicing the fresh strawberries into small pieces. This will ensure an even distribution of the fruit throughout the Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls.
2- In a food processor or blender, combine the diced strawberries, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3- Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up slightly.
4- Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into bite-sized balls. Roll each ball gently between your palms to achieve a smooth, round shape.
5- Place the Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. For an extra touch of decadence, you can lightly roll the balls in a dusting of crushed graham cracker crumbs or chopped nuts.
6- Refrigerate the Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving. Enjoy this guilt-free, protein-packed treat!
Notes
For a firmer texture, you can place the balls in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. These protein balls also make a great on-the-go snack.
