# What You'll Need:
→ Base Mixture
01 -
2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
02 -
1 cup almond flour
03 -
1/2 cup oats, rolled
→ Flavor and Binding
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla, liquid kind
05 -
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 -
1-2 tablespoons milk, add a little at a time if you need it
07 -
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, smash them up first
08 -
1/4 cup cream cheese, let it get soft
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Keep your treats in the fridge in a closed container so they last almost a week. You can eat them straight cold or let them warm up a bit if you like.
02 -
Pop your rolled bites in the fridge and let them sit for 30 minutes. That'll help them stay firm.
03 -
Grab some dough, roll between your hands to make a 1-inch ball, and set them down on a plate you've lined with parchment.
04 -
Is your dough crumbly? Pour in milk one spoon at a time. Stop when it holds together nicely.
05 -
Now dump in the cream cheese, crushed strawberries, honey or syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix it all so it turns into a dough that sticks together.
06 -
Toss your oats, almond flour, and protein powder into a big bowl. Give it a quick mix so they're all combined.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Swap almond flour with oat flour if you need an option without nuts.
02 -
Try using Greek yogurt or a non-dairy cream cheese if you're avoiding dairy.
03 -
If you want them to last longer, freeze. They'll keep up to three months and thaw quick.
04 -
Feel like making them fancier? Pour some melted dark chocolate on top.
