Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a sturdy mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of vanilla protein powder, ½ cup of oat flour, ½ cup of crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well incorporated.
  2. Add 4 oz of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Blend until thick and dough-like.
  3. If too dry, gradually add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you achieve a cohesive dough.
  4. Portion the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Optional: Roll each ball in pink/red sprinkles or extra crushed strawberries for a fun coating.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
