Scale
For the Raspberry Cheesecake Protein Balls:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries (crushed)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
- pinch of salt
- extra crushed raspberries or shredded coconut for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, crushed freeze-dried raspberries, and salt. Add the softened cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it holds together.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Optional: Roll the balls in extra crushed raspberries or shredded coconut for a decorative finish.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- You can substitute the almond flour with oat flour for a nuttier taste or use a plant-based cream cheese to make it dairy-free.
- These are great as a post-workout snack or healthy dessert.
