Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Use a whisk or fork to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed and free of lumps.
  2. Add cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. If the dough is too dry, gradually add milk 1-2 tablespoons at a time until smooth and moldable.

  5. Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let the balls chill for at least 30 minutes.
