Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pulse your rolled oats in a food processor for about 10 seconds for a finer base.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the pulsed oats, vanilla protein powder, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Incorporate the softened cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, and pure vanilla extract into the bowl.
  4. Continue to stir until a uniform, sticky dough forms. Adjust moisture with almond milk or oats as needed.
  5. Roll the mixture into smooth balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  6. Optionally, roll the balls in crushed freeze-dried strawberries to coat.
  7. Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Store in an airtight container, keeping them fresh for up to one week, or freeze for up to a month.
