Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 227 g Cream Cheese Substitution: Use Greek yogurt or softened silken tofu for a lighter or vegan option.
  • 60 ml Sweetener Start with less sweetener and adjust to taste.
  • 5 ml Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for best results.
  • 30 g Protein Powder Substitution: Use plant-based protein powder for a vegan option.
  • 50 g Oats Replace with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 5 tsp Spices Adjust spices according to personal preference.
  • 75 g Add-ins Ensure even distribution in the mixture.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Begin by softening the cream cheese at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Measure all ingredients and gather a large mixing bowl.
  2. In the mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, your sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the protein powder, oats or almond flour, and spices. Stir until a sticky dough forms, using hands if necessary for the right texture.
  4. Gently fold in add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If too sticky, chill the dough for 10 minutes.
  6. Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Optionally sprinkle with cinnamon or drizzle with chocolate before serving.

Notes

These protein balls make a great on-the-go snack. Feel free to customize the add-ins to your liking!
