Strawberry Shortcake Protein Bites

November 27, 2017 Mckenzie Hettman

Well, I think we have a new favorite protein ball recipe! I've been trying to create the perfect strawberry shortcake protein ball recipe for a while, and these are finally just right. These are sweet, tangy, healthy, and great for snacking. I made them for Henry's after school snack this week and he was thrilled! This kid loves strawberries. I have a feeling I'll be making another batch halfway through the week. We love them that much!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 coconut flour or oat flour 
  • 1/4 tsp salt 
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 
  • 1/2 cup full fat greek yogurt 
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (can substitute for vanilla extract)
  • 1 TBSP unsweetened vanilla almond milk 
  • 3-5 fresh strawberries (depending on size- 3 if large, 5 if they are small) 
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 
  • 1 oz freeze dried strawberries (measures to a little more than a cup)

Method

  1. In a food processor, blend oats, flour salt, and protein powder until combined (less than a minute).
  2. Add yogurt, almond extract, milk, and fresh strawberries to the food processor. Blend to combine (about a minute). Add coconut oil and blend one last time just long enough to evenly distribute the coconut oil. 
  3. Add the freeze-dried strawberries and pulse a few times. Don't over blend. There should be chunks of the dried strawberries- yum
  4. Scoop out a spoonful of the batter and roll into a ball. Place in tupperware. Repeat until you run out of batter. You should be able to get at least 20 bite sized protein balls out of the batter. After you have rolled all the batter into balls, put the lid on the tupperware and place in the refrigerator to chill before eating. 
  5. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Pulled pork verde stuffed avocados😍😋
Try this garlic artichoke dip if you’re hosting/attended a Super Bowl party🏈 My recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthy twist👍 P.S This recipe has only received extremely positive feedback and hundreds of people have made it (thanks Pinterest)🙃 #superbowl

I wasn’t planning on sharing my #bestnine but my heart melted a little when I saw that it was all pictures of my family! So sweet that my family was “liked” more than all the food pics. ❤️❤️
Follow your heart.
I remember when the office was still running and EVERYONE said they had a love like Jim and Pam. From the beginning Brian and I always said we were more like Michael & Holly.. Several years later and a couple beet farmers later, I think we're identifying more with Dwight & Angela😂 #bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica
Do you have a food you eat several times a week, every week? For us, it's this simple arugula salad😍 All you need is a heaping bowl of arugula (my favorite green), shaved Parmesan, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, cracked pepper, and course sea salt. #simplefancy
My garden is growing like crazy which means salad season isn't over yet❤️🥗

Huckleberry scones😋 #summereats
This weekend was absolutely blissful🖤 For Huck's first camping trip, we went to the mountain and set up camp nestled in a field of wild Huckleberries. I mean how cute is that?! It was the coolest thing to have thousands of wild berries surrounding us and the view of Mount Adams was stunning!
I'm dreaming of fall after the last few days of cooler weather and even some rain! Definitely looking forward to the food more than anything😊 This delicata squash and kale salad with maple vinaigrette is the reason fall foods are so pretty🍁
