Description

These no-bake Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls are a healthy and delicious snack that captures the essence of strawberry cheesecake. They are protein-packed, naturally sweetened, and gluten-free, making them perfect for post-workout fuel or an afternoon treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 2-3 tablespoons almond milk or water, if needed

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Mix the ingredients until well combined. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add almond milk or water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a dough-like consistency that can be rolled.
  3. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Place the protein balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  6. Store the Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based protein powder and a vegan cream cheese alternative.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sweetener.
  • Experiment with different types of protein powder to find your favorite flavor.
  • You can add chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrients.
