Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls Recipe - 45 Min

Instructions:

1. Place the freeze dried strawberries in a bag and crush them until they reach a fine, powdery consistency. Note: This ensures the color distributes evenly through the dough.
2. Combine the 1 cup almond flour, 2 scoops protein powder, and powdered monk fruit in a bowl.
3. Stir in the lemon zest and strawberry powder until the mixture is a uniform pale pink.
4. Fold in the 4 oz of softened cream cheese and vanilla extract.
5. Use a spatula to press the cheese into the flour until a thick, heavy dough forms.
6. Add the 1 tsp of almond milk if the mixture feels crumbly; it should feel like play dough.
7. Scoop out 1 tablespoon amounts to create 12 uniform spheres.
8. Use your palms to roll each portion into a smooth ball until no cracks remain on the surface.
9. Roll each ball in the graham cracker crumbs until lightly and evenly coated.
10. Place on a plate in the fridge for 30 minutes until firm to the touch.
