    Looking for an easy, no-bake protein treat? Look no further! These Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls are super yummy!

    Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls

    The holidays can be a stressful time, so I love having recipes that are easy to make and don't require many ingredients. The filling to these protein truffles is made from Neufchâtel cheese (low-fat cream cheese), strawberry whey protein powder, and vanilla stevia. That's it! And the coating is melted unsweetened chocolate with more stevia.

    Sometimes I use a chocolate coating made from coconut oil and cacao powder, and that's also very easy. But real chocolate holds up better at room temperature. So if you want to leave these out with dessert at your holiday gathering, the chocolate coating in this recipe would be a better choice for your Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls.

    I used confectioners erythritol for the icing (with water). And you'll never guess what I used to get the pink color in the icing. An all-natural ingredient, of course. A delicious red superfood drink powder! 

    Anyway, give these delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Balls a try! Thanks to the Vitamin Shoppe for sending over the protein and stevia!

    Author: Andréa Marchese

    Ingredients

    Filling:

    • ½ cup strawberry whey protein powder 48g
    • ¼ cup Neufchâtel cheese 56g, at room temperature
    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla stevia

    Chocolate coating:

    • 24 g unsweetened chocolate
    • 2 mini scoops stevia powder or to taste

    Drizzle (optional, amounts approximate):

    • 3 tablespoons confectioners erythritol
    • ½ teaspoon red superfood drink powder

    Instructions

    • Mix whey, Neufchâtel cheese, and stevia until combined.
    • Roll into 8 balls, and place on a parchment-lined tray. Set in refrigerator. (If they are sticky and the balls don't come smooth, freeze them for about 5-10 minutes and then roll again to smooth.)
    • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, and transfer to a smaller bowl. Add stevia and mix well.
    • Remove truffles from the refrigerator, and use a fork to dip each in the melted chocolate. Set back on parchment, and place back in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. If you have additional chocolate, give them a second coating.
    • Once chocolate coating is set, mix drizzle ingredients (if desired), and drizzle onto truffles.
    • Enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.

    Notes

    Nutrition info is without the drizzle, but that would barely change it.
    A note about substitutions: if using casein or a whey/casein blend, you may need to add some water to get it to mix together.
