Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2–3 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener (optional; can omit or substitute with stevia or erythritol)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp cream cheese of choice (about 1.5 oz)
- 1/4 cup raspberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, and monk fruit sweetener if using. Mix thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: Gently fold in the raspberries and cream cheese into the dry mixture. Use your hands to mix the dough, kneading and pressing to help it come together into a workable consistency.
- Adjust dough texture: If the dough is too soft and sticky, add additional coconut flour a little at a time. If it becomes too thick or dry, add a teaspoon of almond milk or water to loosen it slightly.
- Form balls: Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, ensuring they are compact and well-shaped for best texture.
- Chill: Place the protein balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set and firm up.
- Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the protein balls as a quick and satisfying snack whenever you need an energy boost.
- Optional truffle coating: For a decadent twist, coat the balls in melted white chocolate to turn them into protein truffles.
Notes
- If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries thawed completely work well.
- Use clean hands to mix the dough for the best texture and even blending.
- Adjust the amount of coconut flour and liquid carefully to get the perfect dough consistency.
- Store completed protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To keep them vegan, use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives.
