Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Substitute with coconut flour for a nut-free version.
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder Use vanilla-flavored protein powder for best results.
  • 1 pinch Salt Himalayan pink salt works well.
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's softened for easier mixing.
  • 1/4 cup Nut Butter Peanut or almond butter are excellent choices.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Maple syrup or agave nectar can be used as a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract No substitute necessary.
  • 1/2 cup Strawberries Mash fresh ones slightly chunky for texture, or use thawed frozen strawberries.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula
  • Tablespoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Wash and mash strawberries in a small bowl until slightly chunky, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add softened cream cheese, nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir vigorously for 2-3 minutes until well-blended and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the prepared mashed strawberries until color is uniform, taking about 1 minute.
  5. Scoop out mixture and roll between palms to form balls, about 12-15. If too sticky, dampen hands with water.
  6. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
