Ingredients
Scale
Protein Balls
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the vanilla protein powder, almond flour, freeze-dried raspberries, cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until you achieve a smooth, consistent mixture with all ingredients evenly incorporated.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. This size makes them easy to snack on and ensures even portions.
- Chill: Place the formed balls in the refrigerator and let them chill for 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and hold their shape for better texture and eating experience.
- Serve: Once chilled and firm, the Raspberry Cheesecake Protein Balls are ready to be enjoyed as a healthy snack or quick energy bite anytime.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- If freeze-dried raspberries are unavailable, finely chop fresh raspberries but reduce them slightly to avoid excess moisture.
- Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- These protein balls can be optionally rolled in crushed freeze-dried raspberries or almond flour for added texture before chilling.
