Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the oats by pulsing them in a food processor until they resemble a coarse flour, about 30 seconds.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine pulsed oats, vanilla protein powder, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Stir in the softened cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Continue to mix the dough, adjusting texture with more almond milk or oats as necessary.
  5. Roll the dough into equal-sized pieces about 1 inch in diameter, creating smooth balls.
  6. (Optional) Roll the formed balls in additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries for extra flavor and texture.
  7. Chill the protein balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Store chilled protein balls in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month.
